    Looks like it, as long as you meet the rest of the eligibility criteria. Some CCGs insist on a minimum residency period within their area before being put forward for treatment so that would be something else for you to clarify.

    Yep, looks like you'd get one cycle in Horsham and Mid-Sussex, this bit being key:
    One fresh cycle of IVF, with or without ICSI, if the couple has
    already received one NHS funded fresh cycle or two non-NHS
    funded fresh cycles

    But the cost of moving might be more than the cost of a private cycle...

    Their criteria document doesn't list a residency requirement. You could try phoning the CCG to make sure. I'm not sure if they'll speak to members of the public, but can't hurt to give it a go.

    Seems quite likely. Last time I moved (3yrs ago) the costs were at least 3 times as much as we paid for ICSI in March this year.

    Depends on how many cycles you'd get perhaps. My trust doesn't fund any, but the guidelines say 2. I'm going private as I own the house but if I was renting I might have been tempted!
