Call for fertility funding in Wales

Campaigners are trying to persuade the Welsh Assembly to honour guidelines set down by the government's advisory body and fund up to three cycles of IVF treatment for eligible couples.

In some parts of the country, the guidelines set down by NICE are now being followed, with up to three cycles of funded treatment. Campaigners in Wales feel this is far from becoming a reality where they live - the most they can hope for under the current regime is one attempt at IVF funded by the NHS.

If you'd like to find out more about the campaign, to sign the petition or to get copies from organiser Kara Ellard you can see www.walesonline.co.uk
