Publicly funded fertility treatment will help those struggling with cost of IVF

Some €10 million has been allocated to fund one cycle of in vitro fertilisation treatment for up to 3,500 people.

HSE National Women and Infants Health Programme clinical director, Dr Cliona Murphy, said there is now a “good regional spread of services”, which means women will not have to travel too far to avail of fertility treatment. She advised people to first contact their GP, who can do some initial tests and provide advice on fertility issues. They can then refer people who meet the access criteria to one of the regional fertility hubs for further tests, investigations and treatments.
