Change the law to Make men eligible for ivf on the NHS.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

Change the law to Give men the same equal opportunities women have for ivf on the NHS if there is underlying problems with fertility on a males side.
Women have that opportunity why do men not recieve the same opportunities to have a child through funded ivf.
Men do not have the same equal opportunities that women have which makes it harder for couples to have a child without paying thousands because a woman has a child already.
It should be made mandatory that men are able to recieve funded ivf on the NHS to enable men to have children too if there is a medical issue which is harder for them to have children naturally.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Decisions on when to offer IVF is based on recommendations from NICE and is a decision for individual NHS trusts.
