The Financial Times has highlighted a significant reduction in NHS-funded IVF cycles over the past ten years, according to data from the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (as reported in BioNews 1248).
Sarah Norcross, the director of Progress Educational Trust (PET), attributed the decline in NHS support to the absence of adequate pressure on local commissioners in England. She told the Financial Times that this lack of impetus is contributing to the inadequate funding for fertility treatments.
