Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord O'Shaughnessy on 6 April 2017 (HL6515), whether the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority has been made aware that any child born as a result of mitochondrial donation has (1) a mitochondrial disease, (2) birth defect, (3) genetic abnormality, or (4) any other adverse outcome.

The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority has advised that it cannot provide the detailed information as requested as it may compromise patient confidentiality.
