Free IVF for same sex couples and women over 40
The National Institute for Clinical Excellence has issued guidelines widening the scope of free IVF treatment to women over 40 years old and same sex couples. The move means that the expensive treatment will be available to those who can not afford the 8000 GBP cost per cycle.
The new guidelines were said to reflect "social changes" and call on local health authorities to fund intra-uterine insemination, using donor sperm for same sex couples. If they fail to conceive after 6 cycles of IUI then they would be eligible for IVF, which is much more costly.
Women who wish to conceive up to the age of 42 will also be helped under the new guidelines. A typical cycle of IVF can cost 8000 GBP, however the success rate is low, at only 20 percent, and private patients can spend tens of thousands of pounds in an attempt to become pregnant. The guidelines however state that there will be only one cycle of IVF available for patients over the age of 38.
