<p>Pre-implantation Genetic Testing (PGT) is used to identify genetic anomalies in
embryos created through in-vitro fertilisation. Over 600 genetic conditions can currently
be tested for using this technique, as licensed by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology
Authority. NHS England has commissioned five centres to provide PGT to patients in
England. The number of PGT cycles undertaken has increased from 223 patients in 2009
to 620 in 2019, but NHS England does not have access to data that describes the geographical
profile of the people that have used the National Health Service or privately commissioned
PGT services.</p>
