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 from the link below. Key points include:

• The development of a national tariff for regulated fertility services

• A project to share information on local prices and tariffs on an anonymised basis to help PCTs assess whether their local prices are a fair reflection of the national pattern.

• Sharing information gained from research to help commissioners.

• The availability of support for commissioners from expert patients.
