Part 6: Miscellaneous Human Fertilisation and Embryology Schedule 17: Storage of gametes and embryos Renewals falling due in the transitional period
Paragraphs 17 and 18 apply to gametes or embryos stored under Schedule 3 of the 1990 Act for which the first 10-year renewal period ends within the transitional period. For these cases, the facility storing the gametes or embryos must contact the person storing their gametes or embryos before 1 July 2023 and consent must be secured in writing before 1 July 2024. If consent is not renewed by this time, then the gametes or embryos must be removed from storage and disposed of.
