Embryology
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty's Government further to the Written Answer by Baroness Thornton on 27 October (WA 124), why the Answer stated that a total figure of only 36 human oocytes were used between 11 August 2004 and 3 July 2005 under research licence R0152 when the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority indicated in response to a Freedom of Information request (F-2005-00134, cited in correspondence with Lord Alton of Liverpool on 6 August 2007) that 486 human oocytes were used between 11 August 2004 and 31 March 2005.
- Answer
-
The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority has advised that the figures supplied in the response to the Freedom of Information request (F-2005-00134) were incorrect. The authority is undertaking a full reconciliation and will write further to the noble Lord. The total figure supplied for 11 August 2004 to 3 July 2005 in the Written Answer of 27 October (WA 124) is correct, save that the 36 eggs used included 10 failed-to-fertilise eggs, which should have been recorded separately. An amended table is included as follows.
Period (inspection report date) Fresh eggs used Failed-to-fertilise eggs used 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2007 (May 2008) 19 56 30 April 2006 to 30 April 2007 (July 2007) 9 26 30 April 2005 to 30 April 2006 (July 2007) 66 593 11 August 2004 to 3 July 2005 (July 2005) 26 10
