I thank the witness for his presentation, which I had an opportunity to read.

I will not be alone in this, but people contact us regularly about infertility services because they are desperate to have a child. They are so desperate that they will reach out to a stranger like me and share intimate details of their lives which are absolutely heartbreaking. It is very concerning that these services are currently unregulated and that we are about to see a plethora of services emerge in that context. While the service itself is not regulated, the individual radiographer, doctor and nurse must be registered with CORU, the Medical Council and the NMBI, respectively. Is that sufficient regulation or is there a need to regulate the practice or industry, although I hesitate to use that word albeit that is what it is?
