Women have been left unable to access treatment or forced to pay for it privately
The NHS has significantly reduced the amount of IVF procedures it provides across the UK, leaving infertile women either unable to access treatment or forced to pay for it privately.
Barely one in four (27%) of cycles of IVF during 2022 were paid for by the health service – the lowest figure since 2008 and a sharp fall on the 40% which it provided in 2012.
