To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland when the National Medical Advisory Committee's report on an infertility service for Scotland will be published; and when he expects its recommendations to be implemented.

[holding answer 11 March 1992]: There are a number of matters about the provision of an assisted reproduction service which call for further investigation and I have sought supplementary advice from the NMAC. When these matters have been resolved, the NMAC report will be published and the issues surrounding implementation addressed.
