Call You and Yours: Should IVF be available on the NHS?
Fertility treatment is still a postcode lottery according to research by charity Fertility Fairness. Winifred Robinson asks whether IVF treatment should be available on the NHS.
Whether you'll get good fertility treatment on the NHS depends on where you live. Couples should get three cycles of IVF on the NHS. The campaign group Fertility Fairness investigates what's really on offer and has found that only 18 per cent of local commissioning groups in England pays for three cycles of treatment. That's down on last year. Scotland and Wales fund two treatments and Northern Ireland one. Winifred Robinson asks should IVF be available on the NHS? The number to call is 03 700 100 444.
