Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, how many Clinical Commissioning groups are wholly compliant with NICE guidance on the provision of fertility treatment.

The information requested is not collected centrally. The level of provision of infertility treatment, as for all health services they commission, is decided by local clinical commissioning groups.

NHS England expects that all those involved in commissioning infertility treatment services to be fully aware of the importance of having regard to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence fertility guidelines.
