Fertility Treatment Provision and Access

That the Parliament notes with concern the findings of the interim report produced by the Infertility Network Scotland on behalf of the Scottish Government, which suggests that there is an inequity in the provision of, and access to, In vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment in Fife and across Scotland; understands that waiting times for IVF treatment vary from a few months to three and a half years; notes the reported variations in access criteria and believes that levels of provision in some NHS board areas are below current recommendations, and looks forward to publication of Infertility Network Scotland's final report.
