Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health, with reference to the Answer of 30 January 2017 to Question 61799, on IVF pricing, what discussions he has had with NHS England and stakeholder groups on the development of a benchmark price for IVF.
This information is not collected centrally.
Officials from the Department attend the IVF Expert Advisory Group, which oversees the work being taken forward by NHS England. This group met on 11 November 2016, 3 March 2017 and 22 June 2017. It is scheduled to meet on 31 October 2017.
I am scheduled to meet representatives from Fertility Fairness shortly to discuss issues in the sector.
