Following the issue of its interim report in 2008, and the publication of a commissioning aid in June 2009, the final report of the independent expert group on commissioning NHS infertility provision is now available to download below. Key points include:

  • sharing information gained from research to help commissioners
  • the availability of support for commissioners from expert patients
