Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what data her Department holds on the number and proportion of integrated care boards offering three full cycles of IVF in line with NICE guidelines as of 9 January 2023.

As part of the first-year commitments in the Women’s Health Strategy, the Government published our in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) transparency tool on GOV.UK in July 2023. This tool compiles published integrated care board (ICB) policies on their local fertility treatment offer to keep track nationally of implementation progress.

From the data compiled from published ICB commissioning policy statements, currently three out of 42 ICBs provide three full IVF cycles in line with National Institute for Health and Care Excellence fertility guidelines.
