Advice to the Associate Minister of Health about guidelines for surrogacy and the use of sperm, eggs and embryos. The advice was submitted to the then Associate Minister of Health Hon Jenny Salesa in September 2019.

The advice recommends some changes to the Human Assisted Reproductive Technology Order. Included in the advice are the guidelines (already published) that replace earlier, separate guidelines for the donation and use of sperm, eggs and embryos and for surrogacy.
