New bill introduced to tackle transparency problems in IVF treatment

Labour MP Alex Davies-Jones has introduced a bill which would require providers of IVF treatment to publish information annually about the number of NHS funded IVF cycles they carry out and about their provision of additional treatments in connection with IVF.

Introducing her bill, Ms Davie-Jones said: “The current state of IVF offering across the UK currently is far below what would be parents deserve. And I’ll be honest with the minister, none of the devolved nations nor England are currently getting this right. Mr. Speaker, it is those first hand experiences that have brought me to this issue and which have prompted me to introduce this bill today”.
