'Opening the record': Planning the provision of counselling to people applying for information from the HFEA Register

The Steering Group has explored the counselling requirements of people who seek information about
their origins from the HFEA Register and sets out the evidence in this report. It also addresses the
needs of others who may be affected by a personÕs wish to make such enquires as well as the implications for donors, their families and those who were conceived prior to the establishment of the Register in 1991.
