Summary of request

The Authority was asked for information about treatment success rates (fresh and frozen) and eSET at HFEA licensed clinics from 2008.

HFEA response

The information requested is routinely published under the Authority’s Publication Scheme and can be found on the Authority’s website. Information about treatments at each clinic is available on the HFEA online clinic directory ‘Choose a fertility clinic’ (http://guide.hfea.gov.uk/guide/AllClinics.aspx?x=A). As the information you have requested is reasonably accessible via the HFEA website, it is exempt from disclosure under section 21 FOIA.

I can see that you require a substantial amount of information for your research and you may be interested in looking at our web pages that set out two access routes for researchers to work with our data here: http://www.hfea.gov.uk/5447.html . One option is to access an anonymised data set (there is a user guide that lists the data fields available) and this is freely accessible to download. The other option covers access to a fuller dataset that is consequently treated as potentially identifying and therefore has a formal process for applying and granting access.
