NHS help available for people who are trying to get pregnant – share your thoughts

Why do we want to update the fertility policy?

North East London Clinical Commissioning Group wants to know what you think about the proposed changes.

The aim of the new policy is not to reduce the treatments that we fund or who is eligible to have them. What we are proposing is likely to increase the amount of treatment you can have, depending on where you live, and improve access to some treatments. We need to make best use of NHS money given the increasing needs of our population and competing demands for resources. The proposals set out here will require increased investment, but we believe the policy addresses inequalities across north east London and is fairer.

The commissioning group is holding a series of online meetings for the public to find out more and ask questions.

Meeting dates:

·       Monday 18 July, 6-7.30pm

·       Wednesday 20 July, 6-7.30pm 

·       Friday 29 July, 12-1.30pm

·       Wednesday 3 August, 6-7.30pm

Please note, the content of each session will be the same and the presentation will be recorded if you are unable to attend.

We want to make it so that wherever you live in north east London you are able to have the same fertility treatment, such as IVF – this is not currently the case. We also want to make our policy fairer and closer to the latest national guidelines and best practice, while recognising the variety of fertility situations and needs today.

We have used the latest national clinical guidelines, treatment techniques, research and best practice to develop the proposed new policy. Clinicians, including GPs and fertility experts have also helped to shape it.
