Access to IVF 'quite poor' as State-funded treatment not yet available

Dr Roisin O'Loughlin, founder of The Fertility HQ, welcomed the establishment of five regional fertility hubs around the country as progress. 

Access to IVF treatment in this country remains “quite poor” with women still unsure how plans for publicly-funded care will affect them, a GP specializing in women’s health said.

The Government has pledged from September that women will have access to State-funded IVF, initially offered through private centres. However, the details are yet to be announced.
