§ Mr. SpellerTo ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will take steps to ensure that treatment for IVF in the South West regional health authority area is available free of charge for patients living in north Devon as it is for patients living in Bristol.
§ Mr. Freeman[pursuant to his reply, 15 May 1989 c. 80–81]: I now understand that the infertility treatment available for a limited number of patients in north Devon is gamete intra fallopian transfer (GIFT) and not in vitro fertilisation (IVF) as previously stated. I am sorry we did not get this right.
