Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it supports calls for three cycles of IVF to be offered to couples who are unable to conceive.
Answer
The Scottish Government has accepted the recommendation in the national infertility group’s report, published on 13 June 2016, to increase the maximum number of IVF cycles from two to three. Work will now begin to develop a sustainable implementation plan, including timescales for the introduction of the criteria changes in the group’s report.
