Rejected petition Change rules for NHS IVF for those whose partners already have a child

IVF accessible to ALL who been reduced to IVF to have a child.
Some counties state you arent eligible if one of you has an existing child from a previous relationship. This is not NICE guidelines!
Infertility isn't a choice. Why are we being punished for something that's out of our hands. WHY?

More details

The country has set guidelines. However there are then variations to these dependant on which county you live in. Why should one county still be entitled if another isn’t? All rules or guidelines should be the same across the board. Why are we not following the guidelines set by NICE?
