Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL]

I ask the noble Baroness, Lady Finlay, for clarification, bearing in mind the very moving comments of the noble Lord, Lord Winston. If it is true that there is only one treatment per woman at the moment, could the specialist service commissioner allocate three treatments to everybody who undertook one treatment—in other words, if the first treatment did not bring fruition, they would be allowed up to three treatments? If that happened, surely two other women would be denied treatment in the first place. Is that the sort of wisdom of Solomon in which the specialist service commissioner would have to get involved? Secondly, on the point made by the noble Lord, Lord Winston, about the sort of things going on in private clinics, could the specialist service commissioner regulate, license, or, if you like, monitor, services for in vitro fertilisation in private clinics?
