The recent announcement by the
Public health Minister Dawn Primarlo is encouraging news for those infertile
couples who did not previously get much help from the NHS. This latest move has
considered the 2004 NICE guidelines on fertility treatment where it recommends
three cycles for all eligible patients. Different areas for improvement that
has been recognised are
1- A common standard approach
across UK for selecting patients,
2- Guidance and help for failing
Primary Care Trusts and
3- Further assistance to NHS
trusts.
She also proposes to regulate
charges for IVF treatment in the private sector. It can be seen as an
achievement of the various active groups like Infertility Network UK, HFEA,
British Fertility Society, RCOG and many other patient support groups across
UK.
