Men seeking IVF on the NHS told to lose weight amid 'rationing' claims

Men seeking IVF on the NHS told to lose weight amid 'rationing' claims Men seeking IVF with their partners are being told to lose weight as part of the increasing backdoor rationing of fertility treatments by NHS bosses, campaigners have said.A report by Fertility Fairness reveals that local commissioners are imposing “arbitrary” criteria such as male body mass index (BMI), as well as age, as a means of restricting access to IVF. This is despite the criteria forming no part of the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (Nice) rules, which determine who is entitled to IVF.
