Patients usually have to fulfill certain criteria to be eligible for funding.
There is usually a waiting list for such patients and the Health Authority may then pay for the cycle and sometimes the drugs as well. When this is not the case, and when IVF treatment is offered by the Consultant, the patient may be able to fund their own treatment cycle. This is called fee-paying . The patient would have to pay the cost of the cycle and the drugs. It is also possible to see the Consultants on a private basis.
