There are no current plans to designate Turner Syndrome for access to in vitro fertilisation (IVF). The Women’s Health Strategy includes a commitment to end the exclusion of couples from National Health Service-funded IVF where one partner has a child. NHS England is working on guidance to integrated care boards to help implement this.
