Campaign for more Funding in Northern Ireland
Sharon Davidson met Gerry Carroll, MLA Black Mountain, Belfast and member of the Health Committee.
Gerry voiced his support for the campaign to lobby for more than one NHS IVF treatment cycle in line with NICE Guidance on fertility, 2013. Fertility Network UK wants the Department of Health to consider a move to 2 full IVF treatment cycles in the first instance. With 1 in 6 couples in N. Ireland suffering the effects of infertility and a second IVF treatment cycle costing up to £5000, privately, we need the Health Committee to ask the Department of Health to prioritise a full review of fertility services without undue delay.
