Human Fertilisation and Embryology Bill [HL]

My Lords, as a point of clarification, perhaps I may ask the noble Baroness, Lady Hollis, about the statistics for the numbers of IVF treatments in the various areas she mentioned. Would it not be better if we had statistics showing the number of requests for IVF? The noble Baroness mentioned various areas and I know something about the poverty levels in some of them. There must be areas in which people would not be looking for IVF because they could not afford to have any more children. It comes to the same thing, but it does not mean that women are being deprived of IVF treatment, but that, realistically, they are saying that they could not possibly have any more children or a child. I just wonder about that. There must be a list of those who have applied for IVF treatment. A judgment could be made about whether the local health authority was fulfilling its duty, in effect, in offering IVF treatment to everyone that did apply.
