Government signs off on financial aid for IVF couples

The Government has signed off on providing financial support to couples going through IVF.

Health Minister Simon Harris will now come up with proposals around how the Government might assist couples who are struggling to afford IVF. He is expected to come up with these proposals before Christmas.

However, it is understood that it could be 2019 before state assistance is rolled out and this is likely to be a means-tested support.
