A report by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) on the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on fertility treatment was recently released.
The report found fewer IVF patients had experienced delays to treatment during the pandemic than first anticipated, but the NHS is still facing delays in referrals.
Julia Chain, Chair of the HFEA, said: “Fertility clinic staff worked incredibly hard to re-open during the pandemic while providing a safe service for patients.
“During this time, patients who were coming to the end of their window of fertility were prioritised to keep their dreams of a family alive.”
