Neither the Department nor NHS England holds data on who accesses in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority publishes information on the numbers and IVF cycles carried out, including whether they were privately or National Health Service funded, but this does not cover the immigration status of the patient.
