> However, the first phase of public funding for IVF treatment will not begin until late next year, on a limited basis at first, and details have yet to be worked on how it will be assessed and whether a person’s means will be taken into account.
Why announce something in a budget that won’t take affect at the earliest by the start of next years budget.
The IVF scheme sounds like it was a soundbite to grab good headlines but hadn’t any plan to implement it under this years budget.
IVF on a public health system seems like a horrible waste of taxpayers money.
