Changes to our Access to Fertility Treatment policy
CCGs across Yorkshire and Humber agreed to work together to update the joint access to fertility treatment commissioning policy to reflect new national guidance and other policy changes.
Whilst the majority of the proposed changes are simple amendments to wording to make the policy easier to read or reflect changes to clinical terminology, there are some changes that may affect whether a person/people is eligible for NHS funded fertility treatment.
More information about the changes including the full proposed policy can be found on our website here.
We are asking for views from the public about these proposed changes. People can have their say by following the link to the survey here. The survey is open until 6 October 2019.
Please note that the policy sets out who is eligible for specialist fertility services, it is not about how many cycles of infertility treatments are paid for by individual CCGs. This is covered by each CCG’s own local policy around funding of specialist infertility treatment, which remains unchanged.
