The equivalent of almost one child in every classroom in Britain is now born as a result of in-vitro fertilisation or IVF fertility treatment, new figures suggest.
Almost 21,000 babies were born from IVF in 2023, compared to 8,700 in 2000, the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA) said.
