answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2018 answer text <p>The evidence reviews and recommendations of the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) fertility guidance confirm that fertility problems can be managed cost effectively. Where NICE fertility guidance is not followed and an incomplete cycle of in vitro fertilisation, as defined by the NICE guidance, is offered this reduces the effectiveness, and thereby the value for money of the treatment.</p> answering member constituency Thurrock answering member printed Jackie Doyle-Price question first answered 21/06/2018 11:29:07 answering member 4065 label Biography information for Dame Jackie Doyle-Price
