East Midlands Fertility Policy Review

NHS Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) across the East Midlands are seeking feedback from residents on proposed guidelines for a unified East Midlands Fertility Policy. This region includes the counties of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, and Nottinghamshire, along with the authorities of Derby, Leicester, Rutland, and Nottingham. A fertility policy outlines the NHS supported treatments available to people looking to access fertility services within their area.

Currently, fertility policies vary across the East Midlands, with differences in factors like age, BMI requirements, the number of NHS funded treatment cycles, and eligibility for same sex couples, individuals with children from previous relationships, and single individuals. This review aims to create a consistent fertility policy for the entire East Midlands, ensuring equal access to fertility treatments based on unified criteria.

You’re invited to share your views on the proposed policy by completing a survey open until Friday, 10th January 2025. For alternative formats, such as large print or postal surveys, please contact us using the details on this page.

This survey is being conducted by NHS Derby and Derbyshire ICB on behalf of the East Midlands region. For more information, please visit https://derbyshireinvolvement.co.uk/fertilityreview.

NHS Derby and Derbyshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) will collect responses to this survey on behalf of the NHS Integrated Care Boards in the East Midlands. They will also facilitate any questions submitted through the platform and ensure they reach the relevant area for a response.
