… requesting information
Commissioning Group
regarding
fertility
services
in
Ashford
Clinical
I'm trying to find out what fertility services are available for same sex couples
in our area.
I'd be so grateful if you could either explain what is available or direct me to
the right place to ask!
Please find attached (please see link below) a copy of the Referral and Treatment
Criteria, which is a document that sets out referral and treatment criteria for elective
pathways of care in Kent and Medway. This document has been developed by GPs,
consultants, pharmacists, optometrists, dentists and many other health
professionals locally, to ensure that patients consistently get the right treatment at
the right time.
They are based on best practice and NICE guidance to enable the NHS to minimise
the risks of planned treatment for patients and maximise its benefits, so that people
get the best possible care.
On page 16 of the document you will find a section that covers your area of interest
(Intra-uterine insemination (IUI), In vitro fertilisation (IVF) and Intracytoplasmic
sperm injection (ICSI) - Assisted Conception Treatments for Sub-Fertility), which
should answer your request. If you require an electronic cop, please use the
