IVF law change

End of outdated law which requires same-sex couples to pay up to £1,000 for safety screening when accessing fertility treatment.

Hundreds of couples hoping to become parents but going through the distress of fertility issues will have their chances improved, as the government announces two significant law changes to in vitro fertilisation (IVF) provision in the UK.

Currently, female same-sex couples hoping to conceive via reciprocal IVF must first go through screening for infectious diseases such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, or rubella. This screening can cost up to £1,000 whereas under current rules, heterosexual couples do not need to undergo this screening.
