Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department has taken to support greater consistency in IVF provision across Integrated Care Boards since April 2026; what progress she has made on assessing the adequacy of the provision of commissioned fertility services; and what steps she plans to take to reduce regional variation in access to IVF treatment.

The action that the Government is taking in this area remains as set out in the response provided to the Hon. Member on 24 April in response to Question 128338. These issues are also being considered as part of the work of the Maternity and Neonatal Taskforce, chaired by my Rt. Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, and we will provide further updates on that work in due course.
