IVF Policy To Be Reviewed
This will follow the expected publication of new IVF policy guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in May 2025.
North West London ICB will reference NICE guidelines in tandem with reviewing their own clinical criteria, as outlined in the current IVF policy, available here.
The review will be thorough and will reflect the ICB's commitment to delivering both a high level of care, reducing inequalities in health and healthcare, and being fiscally responsible.
A spokesperson for NHS North West London says:
“We are aware that NHS North West London Integrated Care Board (ICB) is due to review its IVF policy. We also recognise that some of our neighbouring ICBs differ in the number of IVF cycles offered.
“However, given that NICE is undergoing its own IVF policy review, the ICB’s Policy Development Group (PDG) were minded to defer until after the NICE publication.
“Although this will mean a small delay, the ICB’s PDG believes this is counterbalanced by taking into consideration any new guidance, in order to provide its own considered and thorough policy review.”
