Annual fees for licensed centres under the EUTCD
As competent authority for reproductive cells under the EU Tissue and Cells Directive (EUTD), the HFEA's regulatory remit was extended in 2006 to include the licensing of services involving fresh gametes such as intra uterine insemination (IUI) and gamete intra-fallopian transfer (GIFT).
Under the EUTD, additional requirements were introduced for all centres, including implementation of a quality management system.
No additional funding was available for the extension of the HFEA's role, and the cost of inspection and licensing under the EUTD had to be covered from fees collected from those centres requiring a licence.
The scope of this consultation covered annual and licence renewal fees which were chargeable for all centres coming into the regulatory framework from April 2007.
