§ Mr. SackvilleInformation about the age groups and income of women who received fertility treatment during 1991 is not available centrally. The Government are aware of the position of childless couples and the national health service provides a wide range of services to help them. However, decisions about the priority and resources to be given to fertility services must be left to individual health authorities.
