Is An IVF Postcode Lottery Unfair To Northamptonshire Woman?

Northants women are only entitled to 1 free IVF treatment - fewer than the national guidelines which say 3 should be offered.

Women in Northamptonshire are currently only entitled to one free IVF treatment, fewer than the national guidelines which say three cycles should be offered.

It’s up to clinical commissioning groups to decide what is offered locally - and Nene and Corby CCG’s have told 91Èȱ¬ Radio Northampton that they are actively reviewing the current policy.

Reporter Anna Bartlett speaks to Claire Lewis Jones, Chief Executive of the Infertility Network, while Stuart speaks to Caroline Wood who had private fertility treatment in Northamptonshire and now has a 3-year old daughter, to Lynn Neese from Care Fertility in Northampton, and to caller Katie who had a child after one cycle of IVF treatment at Care Fertility.
