Winston calls for action against IVF clinics in charging 'scandal' | News: IVF clinics in London are 'cashing in' by overcharging patients who want to store frozen embryos, according to a top fertility doctor. Clinics are advised to use one embryo at a time to reduce the health risks connected to multiple births, but couples desperate to conceive often choose to freeze embryos for future use.
Lord Robert Winston, the fertility treatment pioneer, said that some clinics were taking advantage of these 'one at a time' regulations. He revealed that one clinic charged £915 for embryo freezing plus £325 for storage in liquid nitrogen which 'costs a few pence a liter'.
