Text
I thank the Member for taking an intervention. The Member mentioned that some people have spent thousands of pounds on treatment. Will the Member agree that some people simply do not have the money? I was in that position, and I was entitled to one cycle of IVF, and I had my miracle baby. Had I not got pregnant or not carried the pregnancy to term, I would not have had the money to pay for private treatment. I would never have been a mummy.
