Department of Health and Social Care written question – answered at on 15 September 2025.
Chris Philp
Shadow Home Secretary
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many asylum seekers have received NHS-funded IVF treatment since 5 July 2024.
Karin Smyth
Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)
Neither the Department nor NHS England holds data on who accesses in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment. The Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority publishes information on the numbers and IVF cycles carried out, including whether they were privately or National Health Service funded, but this does not cover the immigration status of the patient.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
