HC Deb 18 December 1997 vol 303 c328W
Ms Drown

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what measures his Department is taking to redress inequalities in access to infertility services. [21594]

Ms Jowell

The White Paper "The New NHS" outlines a number of steps which the Government will be taking to improve the consistency of service provision throughout the National Health Service. We will challenge and address variations not based on the health needs and wishes of local people. We will aim for maximum consistency while still allowing appropriate local and individual responsiveness.
