Fertility funding access for LGBTQIA+ people
Tabled 11 September 2025 by Tom Gordon
That this House notes the barriers to fertility treatment faced by LGBTQIA+ couples struggling to conceive, particularly in relation to access to fertility funding despite the 2022 Women’s Health Strategy for England promising to improve access; further notes that most Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) expect female same sex couples to complete between 6 and 12 self-funded rounds of intrauterine insemination (IUI) before accessing the NHS treatment pathway; acknowledges that this creates inequality of access with IUI treatment costing up to £25,000; and calls on the Government to ensure that all members of the LGBTQIA+ community are provided with fair and equal access to fertility treatment.
