As stated in the Written Answer by Earl Howe on 3 December 2014 (HL2977), the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) does not regulate the administration of drugs and, therefore, does not collect such data. However, the HFEA does collect information on whether stimulation was used in in-vitro fertilisation, intracytoplasmic sperm injection and donor insemination treatment cycles. The HFEA currently collects information on whether assisted hatching was used.

The HFEA has advised that as it does not regulate the administration of drugs, surgical procedures or laboratory equipment, it does not collect data on the interventions listed in the noble Lord\u2019s question.

The HFEA has also advised that it has sufficient powers to collect the data necessary to perform its regulatory functions, as set out in the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 1990.

The HFEA\u2019s Scientific and Clinical Advances Advisory Committee regularly reviews the evidence of effectiveness and safety of a number of interventions, commonly described as treatment add-ons.
