I move amendment No. 42:

In page 24, to delete lines 19 to 23 and substitute the following: “(b) the provider is satisfied that, in all the circumstances of the case—

(i) such treatment is necessary to—

(I) enable pregnancy or birth or both,

(II) enable fertility preservation, or

(III) avoid, in accordance with the provisions of Part 6, serious disability or illness in a child,

(ii) such treatment does not pose a disproportionate risk to the health of a child that may be born as a result of such treatment, and

(iii) where the person is a woman, pregnancy or birth, following such treatment, does not pose a disproportionate risk to her health.”.

This amendment clarifies that AHR treatment can be provided for reasons including fertility preservation or pre-genetic testing, PGT.
