Our Authority, committees and panels

The Authority, our board, meets regularly throughout the year to discuss and determine policy and practice. The meetings are based around draft papers which have been reviewed by our committees and panels which are made up of staff, Authority members and people outside of the HFEA who are all chosen for their expertise in particular areas. This page tells you more about each committee and panel and directs you to meeting papers if they are published.
