To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to ensure the follow-up of children born after fertilisation of frozen oocytes, in particular to understand any epigenetic or other deleterious effects that might be associated with egg freezing.
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has advised that, as part of its Information for Quality program, it will in future collect information on the methods of freezing, vitrification or slow-freeze. The HFEA will also work closely with researchers to enable longer term research.
