Summary of request

The Authority was asked for information about the number of cases of preimplantation genetic diagnosis undertaken each year in the UK.

HFEA response

This information can be found in the anonymised register, published on the HFEA’s website (see: http://www.hfea.gov.uk/5874.html).  As this information is reasonably accessible via the HFEA website, it is exempt from disclosure under section 21 FOIA and the request was, accordingly, refused.

The anonymised register includes the most recent verified data that is stored in the HFEA’s statutory register at the date of publication.  Data sets for more recent periods will be added once these have been subjected to the HFEAs’ verification procedures.  Outcomes up to 31 December 2008 have been subject to a preliminary verification process, and the centres that supplied the data have been asked to confirm their accuracy, for which they remain responsible.  Please note that the information in our database may be subject to change as licensed centres notify us of information that updates or corrects information they have previously supplied.
