A PUBLIC FUND which promised financial support for people undergoing fertility treatment has not been finalised by the government. This is despite an announcement by Taoiseach Leo Varadkar last December that a €1 million fund would be rolled out this year.
Delayed promises can have a big impact on options for fertility treatment if people choose to defer IVF or other treatments, according to Wingfield. “People with fertility issues don’t have time to wait as the biggest issue with fertility is age.” Wingfield said she sees a lot of people in the National Maternity Hospital, Holles Street, who can’t afford treatment due to the cost.
The delayed implementation of funding for AHR is “reflective of years of neglect of the challenge of fertility by our politicians”, according to Donal Buggy, head of services for the Irish Cancer Society. However, in order to get access to certain medications covered by these schemes, people must be able to afford to pay for the private treatment. ”In some ways the more money you have at the moment, the cheaper it is,” said Buggy.
