The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is a department of His Majesty's Government responsible for government policy on health and adult social care matters in England, along with a few elements of the same matters which are not otherwise devolved to the Scottish Government, Welsh Government or Northern Ireland Executive. It oversees the English National Health Service (NHS). The department is led by the secretary of state for health and social care with three ministers of state and three parliamentary under-secretaries of state.

Department of Health and Social Care

We are the UK's independent regulator of fertility treatment and research using human embryos. We aim to ensure that everyone who steps into a fertility clinic, receives high quality care. We do this by licensing, monitoring and inspecting fertility clinics. This website provides free, clear and impartial information on UK fertility clinics, IVF and other types of fertility treatment, and donation.
