Should IVF be offered on the NHS ?

Lots of pregnant foreigners fly in 'on holiday' and have their children at our expense. I can't see people accepting limits on treating our own until this is stopped.

Professor Robert Winston was very rude to a nice young woman on newsnight tonight who said it shouldn't be.

My thoughts are that the age should be reduced for the treatment and for someone who wants to follow a career first, why should the NHS fund a forty year old woman ? Mind you what ever is decided the treatment should be uniform throughout Britain, if you get three goes in Scotland (no doubt thanks again to the Barnett formula) you should have the same opportunity and amount of chances throughout the rest of the U.K. We all pay the proportionally the same amount of tax and National Insurance.

Of course, not.  It's not a medical necessity.

If it wasn't carried out in hospitals, there would be no reason for it to be even considered to be paid for by the taxpayer.

The fact that is is unique in terms of procedures carried out by the NHS suggests something.

Ideal type of business to be handled by the private sector.
