David Amess – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department of Health

The below Parliamentary question was asked by David Amess on 2016-03-03.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, with reference to the oral contribution of the Lord Patel of 24 February 2015, column 882HL, if he will place in the Library a copy of all correspondence from September 2014 between the expert panel convened by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority and Professor Grifo.

Jane Ellison

The correspondence referred to is a personal email exchange between one expert panel member and Professor Grifo, following the third scientific review of the safety and efficacy of methods to avoid mitochondrial disease in 2014. It would not be appropriate for a copy of this private correspondence to be placed in the Library.
