Women are being denied IVF treatment because the NHS has decided they are too old, too young or have not been with their partner for long enough, a report reveals today. Many couples are also refused access to fertility services by their local NHS primary care trust (PCT) because one of them already has a child.
The restrictions were uncovered during an inquiry into the availability of IVF across England by Grant Shapps, the Conservative MP for Welwyn Hatfield.
Women who can afford it travel to a different country to receive in vitro fertilization treatment.
Shapps is the father of three children, all of whom were conceived by IVF.
Government-run health care may be coming your way.
