A statement from the HFEA. Clare Ettinghausen, Director of Strategy and Corporate Affairs, said: “The HFEA has a limited role in surrogacy arrangements, overseeing only how clinics deliver the fertility treatment patient pathway and consents where surrogacy takes place in a licensed UK clinic. We have no remit in relation to regulating surrogacy arrangements that take place outside the UK.

Our 2019 annual conference for fertility clinic staff was held in London on Thursday 13 June from 9.30am to 3.30pm. The day started with a welcome address from our Chair, Sally Cheshire and was followed by four workshops and a panel discussion.

Please see the HFEA’s written evidence submitted as part of the Women and Equalities Committee (WEC) inquiry into egg donation and freezing. This evidence can also be found alongside other submissions on the UK Parliament website.
