Breakdown of hospitality received and given
The HFEA retains a register of hospitality received. The Chair, Members and Senior Officers of the HFEA have reported receiving no hospitality by virtue of their roles in the organisation. Also, the Chair and the Chief Executive of the HFEA have embarked on a series of working dinners to meet with PRs of clinics throughout the country.

These dinners have several purposes:

  • they enable a better working relationship between clinics and the HFEA
  • they have helped to communicate changes that will be introduced from 1 October 2009, as a result of the amendment of the HFE Act,
  • they provide opportunity to gather informal feedback on the HFEA, which has contributed to the formation of the new compliance cycle.

Although these dinners do come under “Hospitality”, the HFEA considers they are one of the best ways of working with the sector, obtaining strategic intelligence and fostering better working relationships with licence holders. On average, each dinner costs £300 for between 6 - 8 people, including the Chair and Chief Executive.
