Infertility support group calls for legislation to be enacted to allow for publicly funded IVF scheme

Health minister Jennifer Carroll-McNeill said she could not 'give a definitive timeline for the commencement of the legislation at this time'.

A support and information group for people going through infertility says it is “anxious” to see progress on implementing legislation on assisted human reproduction.

It comes as moves are under way to appoint board members to the new assisted human reproduction regulatory authority being established under the Assisted Human Reproduction Act signed into law last July.
