answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text <p>Further to answers given on 12 September (HC Deb, col 750w) the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) has advised that if mitochondrial donation was permitted in treatment it is not anticipated that this would impact on the incidence of ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS). This is because any egg donation or collection processes necessary for mitochondrial donation would be carried out at HFEA licensed fertility clinics in line with the guidance outlined in the HFEA Code of Practice. Mitochondrial donation raises no new issues in respect of OHSS as the women who may donate eggs will be subject to the same protocols as those donating to fertility treatment.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Earl Howe question first answered 17/11/2014 12:06:01 answering member 2000 label Biography information for Earl Howe
