WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR HEALTH AND SOCIAL SERVICES BY THE CONNÉTABLE OF ST. MARTIN
ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 6th OCTOBER 2020
Question
"Will the Minister outline what work, if any, has been conducted on increasing the level of funding available to families seeking access to I.V.F. (in vitro fertilisation), including – but not limited to – raising the household income cap from £34,000?"
Answer
HCS has committed to undertaking a strategic review of the Assisted Reproductive Service in Jersey, which will incorporate current policy and how this impacts on access to the service and off-island pathways. The current financial threshold for services will be part of this review which commenced in July and is due for completion by Jan 2021. The review seeks to ensure there is a long-term sustainable Assisted Reproductive service established for Jersey.
