A major NHS fertility clinic in Homerton, east London, has had its licence to operate suspended over fears embryos have been destroyed. Homerton Fertility Centre in east London has seen three cases of embryos not surviving the freezing process in the last year, trust officials say. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) said it had suspended the centre’s licence to operate today over ‘significant concerns about the clinic’. The clinic cannot offer services until May. Though all current patients will complete their treatment and all eggs, embryos and sperm will still be stored. According to The Telegraph, regulators warn that 153 frozen embryos are at risk.
