Review guidelines and criteria for women who are facing fertility issues to access IVF treatment on the NHS regardless of if their partner has a child from a previous relationship. We believe all women should have the chance to become a mother to a biological child.

We consider that some women are being told they can’t receive NHS IVF treatment because their partner has a child from a previous relationship. We believe this is making women facing fertility issues feel punished. We think women should not be denied NHS IVF if they have a fertility issue regardless of partners previous child/children. We are concerned that the impact this may have on women struggling to conceive is immense and, in our view, it should not be taken lightly.
