§ Mr. WigleyTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will publish the most recent figures available showing the number of clinics in(a) England and (b) England and 33W Wales offering (i) IVF, GIFT and other procedures and (ii) GIFT and other procedures but excluding IVF; and if he will also publish the total numbers of (a) single, (b) twin, (c) triplet, (d) quadruplet, (e) quintuplet and (f) sextuplet pregnancies following GIFT procedures in each category of clinic.
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyThe information requested is not available centrally. Some information on these matters is published in the annual report of the Interim Licensing Authority, a copy of which is available in the Library.
In future we expect that some of the data requested will be available from the IVF register, which has been set up by OPCS with funding from the Department.
