Taken from The Age:
Costello dumps IVF Medicare cuts
January 1, 2006 - 5:49AM

Medicare funding will not be restricted for IVF treatment, Federal Treasurer Peter Costello said.

Mr Costello said he dumped the controversial plan to limit Medicare funding for women undergoing IVF treatment, preempting a report on the issue by Health Minister Tony Abbott due next month, the Sunday Age said.

Under a Health Department proposal raised last year, Medicare funding for IVF would have been limited to three treatments for women aged over 42 and three cycles a year for younger women.

The plan would have saved $52 million over four years but the plan was shelved in May, and the inquiry called, following criticism by doctors and some Liberal MPs.

"I'm not planning to revisit that," the newspaper quoted Mr Costello as saying.

"I think we had a debate about that last time.

"I think we came to the right conclusion."

A spokesman for Mr Abbott said the Health Minister was on leave and was still awaiting the report
