Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to standardise the amount the Clinical Commisioning Groups pay providers for the provision of IVF treatment and other fertility services.
NHS England and NHS Improvement are jointly undertaking a project to develop a benchmark price for National Health Service fertility treatments. NHS England have advised it is working with the sector to improve their reference costs for in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). It is NHS England’s intention to produce benchmark prices for IVF services by the end of the year.
