More than 70 per cent of NHS trusts break rules to deny IVF – and save money

I saw this article today and was shocked to read it.  How dare health care professionals move the goalposts and put a price on our children's heads.  The fact is that we all pay our taxes and so we should be able to receive the treatment we pay for.  Many IVF patients have been through the trauma of illnesses such as cancer, cardiac and renal issues which is why these people need IVF in the first place.  It is an important part of complete palliative care.  We are selling these people short and that situation could happen to anybody, either yourself, your kids, siblings or close friends.  It is a truly devastating  and isolating situation to have to face.
