Answer
I announced, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, my plans to establish a Project Board to take forward the welcome New Decade, New Approach commitment to increasing the number of publicly-funded IVF cycles. However, although membership of the Project Board has been determined, progress has been temporarily delayed due to the ongoing COVID-19 response.
