IVF: Finance

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of funding access to IVF treatment for individuals who have (a) Turners Syndrome and (b) other conditions when their partner has a child from a previous relationship.

Answer

There are no current plans to designate Turner Syndrome for access to in vitro fertilisation (IVF). The Women’s Health Strategy includes a commitment to end the exclusion of couples from National Health Service-funded IVF where one partner has a child. NHS England is working on guidance to integrated care boards to help implement this.
