All women under 40 could be offered the chance of IVF paid for the Jersey government, under new plans for the island s fertility service.
The Department for Health says its aiming to bring its funding model in line with Scotland, where women under 40 can receive up to three funded cycles.
Those aged 40 to 42 are eligible for one funded cycle.
Currently in Jersey only those couples with a combined household income of under £34,000 qualify for government help with treatment.
All women under 40 have their drugs paid for but have to pick up the cost of IVF treatment and travel to the UK themselves.

Patrick Armstrong, the Island’s medical director, said the aspiration was to be able to provide a system similar to Scotland, where the government funds up to three cycles of IVF for qualifying couples regardless of their income as long as the woman is below the age of 40. For those aged 40 to 42 one cycle is funded.
Currently in Jersey only those with a combined household income of less than £34,000 get any financial help with IVF. Other patients under the age of 40 have their drugs paid for by the government, but they have to pick up the bill for the actual treatment, which runs to thousands of pounds per cycle.
