Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will (a) update the national guidance issued to Clinical Commissioning Groups on fertility treatments to restrict that treatment to people who are in a stable relationship and (b) bring forward legislative proposals to ensure CCGs adhere to that guidance.

There are no plans to restrict treatment to people who are in a stable relationship. The Government expects all clinical commissioning groups to commission fertility treatment services in line with their Public Sector Equality Duty.
