Funding

NHS funding for fertility treatment 

Although there is national guidance on NHS funding for fertility treatment, the reality is that different areas of the UK have their own rules about who qualifies and what is offered.

In Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland they have national policies so everyone is offered the same

Northern Ireland  https://belfasttrust.hscni.net/services/rfc/first-steps/nhs-funded-treatment/

In England, different parts of the country set their own rules on who is eligible and on what treatment is offered.
