This is an FOI request for the latest fertility policy that is being used in NHS Greater Manchester ICB by GPs and decision makers as of today (12/01/2026). I’m reaching out via email as we understand that the policies on some ICB websites aren’t always updated immediately.

NHS Greater Manchester (NHS GM) commissioning statements, and information regarding the Individual Funding Request Service can be accessed via the NHS GM website.
