NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups in the New Forest and Hampshire are asking for the public’s views on future provision of IVF in the region.
Currently, the local NHS offers one cycle of IVF treatment to women who meet the eligibility criteria.
Dr David Chilvers, speaking on behalf of all eight CCGs, said: “Each of the CCGs is keen to ensure that the views of the local community are heard alongside the views of local clinicians, before any decisions are made regarding assisted conception – we want to hear from people living across Hampshire regarding this issue.
“All eight CCGs offer IVF but we need to ensure we find the right balance between offering this high-cost treatment, and being able to meet the other health needs of the people in our local communities too.”
There is an online survey at surveymonkey.com/s/ivf-review-2014.
All responses must be received by October 19.
