Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines Fertility problems: assessment and treatment, published on 20 February 2013 and updated on 6 September 2017, what assessment they have made of the access criteria for IVF.

The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) fertility guidelines are currently under review by NICE, who expects revised guidelines to be published by the end of 2024.

The Women’s Health Strategy sets out our longer-term ambition to work with NHS England and integrated care boards to ensure that the recommendations of the revised guidelines are fully implemented.
