answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/04/2024 answer text <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> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 16/04/2024 10:39:37 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

Non-EU, EEA or Swiss citizen family members who have a UKVI account can also use the View and Prove service.</p><p>Successful applicants continue to receive written notice of their immigration status by email or letter, which they can keep for their personal records if they wish. However, due to the possibility of fraud and abuse this document cannot be used to evidence an individual’s immigration status to external organisations.</p><p>There are no plans to provide EU citizens granted status under the EUSS with physical back-up copies of immigration documents.</p> answering member constituency Corby answering member printed Tom Pursglove question first answered 15/04/2024 11:39:03 answering member 4369 label Biography information for Tom Pursglove
