IVF: Asylum
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many NHS IVF treatments were provided to asylum seekers in each of the last five years.
Answered by Karin Smyth
Neither the Department nor NHS England holds data on who accesses IVF treatment. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority publishes information on the numbers and IVF cycles carried out, including whether they were privately or NHS funded, but this does not cover the immigration status of the patient.
