This is great news for the people of Norfolk. After a couple of treatments provided in Norwich & Barts in London we were referred to Bourn Hall in 2009 and our son was born following IVF treatment last March. Having a facility closer to home will take a huge element of stress away from couples for whom this is already a very stressful time.

Just wanted to point out that the total number of babies have been born following treatment at Bourn Hall Clinic is in fact well over 12,000. The 1000 statistic actually relates to babies born following NHS-funded treatment at Bourn Hall since early 2009. (http:www.bourn-hall-clinic.co.uknewsbaby-kodie-is-one-in-a-thousand-says-bourn-hall-clinic) Around the world over 5 million IVF babies have been born, and it all started with Bourn Hall, 35 years ago.
