Human Fertilisation and Embryology Act 2008

Welfare of the child where basic partner treatment services are provided

119.Basic partner treatment services are treatment services that are provided for a woman and a man together, without using donated gametes, gametes that have been stored, or embryos created outside the woman’s body. These include artificial insemination (intrauterine insemination, IUI) using sperm that has been processed but not donated or frozen. These services were brought within the HFEA’s remit by the 2007 Regulations.

120.Section 14(2)(a) applies the requirement to take account of the welfare of the child where basic partner treatment services are provided in the same way that the requirement applies to other treatment services regulated under the 1990 Act.
