Fund the NHS to cover cost of one cycle of IVF per applicant as a minimum

What the petition asks
Currently, some Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs) will cover the cost of up to 3 cycles of IVF whilst others do not cover any. This turns local healthcare into a postcode lottery for anybody wanting children who is struggling or cannot conceive naturally.
The Government should ensure the NHS is funded to cover the cost of one cycle per applicant as a minimum.
This would make the availability of IVF the same throughout England regardless of where you live. It is a NATIONAL health service, not a local health service.
