IVF: Essex

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment she has made of the capacity of NHS-approved fertility clinics serving Essex to meet current and projected demand for NHS-funded treatment.

Answer

The Government recognises that access to National Health Service funded fertility services is variable in England and is looking into achievable ambitions to improve access to fertility services. This includes understanding the offer made by fertility services across the country with a view to assessing the data collected from integrated care boards to evaluate next steps, working to ensure there is equitable access.
