Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Tom Gordon (Liberal Democrat), on Thursday, 11 September 2025, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 17 members in total.


Fertility funding access for LGBTQIA+ people

That this House notes the barriers to fertility treatment faced by LGBTQIA+ couples struggling to conceive, particularly in relation to access to fertility funding despite the 2022 Women’s Health Strategy for England promising to improve access; further notes that most Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) expect female same sex couples to complete between 6 and 12 self-funded rounds of intrauterine insemination (IUI) before accessing the NHS treatment pathway; acknowledges that this creates inequality of access with IUI treatment costing up to £25,000; and calls on the Government to ensure that all members of the LGBTQIA+ community are provided with fair and equal access to fertility treatment.
