To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what his Department's estimated timescale is for bringing into force the removal of the financial burden for In-Vitro Fertilisation for female same-sex couples in England.

Funding decisions for health services in England, including In-Vitro Fertilisation (IVF), are made by integrated care boards (ICBs) and are based on the clinical needs of their local population. We expect the removal of the additional financial burden faced by female same-sex couples when accessing IVF treatment to take effect during 2023.
