Plans to provide a publicly funded IVF service in State hospitals for the first time are set to be announced today. At the moment, Ireland and Lithuania are the only two countries in the EU that do not offer state funding for assisted reproduction. The service is likely to come into operation in 2021 once legislation is passed. Other fertility services currently available in public hospitals are to be widened next year as part of a €2 million initiative while the publicly funded IVF system is awaited. What is your IVF story? Ciara hears from listeners.
