Ms Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Health how many and what percentage of district health authorities have a comprehensive contract for infertility services.

Mr. Sackville

The national health service executive does not collect information on contracts agreed between district health authorities and hospitals for individual treatments or services.

Mr. Tipping

To ask the Secretary of State for Health (1) what provision is made for(a) infertility treatment and (b) infertility investigation in the North Nottinghamshire and Nottinghamshire health authorities;
