MAPPED is a game of the IVF postcode lottery in England. How some NHS boards only offer one free cycle, restrict treatment to children under the age of 35, and refuse to admit couples with children

EXCLUSIVE: Women under the age of 40 in the United Kingdom who are pregnant or breastfeeding should be able to have three cycles of fertility therapy on the NHS, according to current official guidelines. Nevertheless, only three regions of the country (shown in map) observe this access policy, which was established ten years ago. The majority of health authorities, who are allowed to make their own access decisions, are limited to only one cycle of IVF. In 2019, a live birth was observed in approximately a third of IVF cycles among under 35 years old. However, this dropped to just 4 percent in over-44s (shown in graphic).

After the death of their uncle Marcel from dementia four years ago, eight of the eight living relatives will each receive $175,000. Marcel didn't have a will and had lost touch with his family several years before he was diagnosed with dementia. But he had photographs, records, and mementos, which gave NSW Trustee & Guardian genealogy researchers vital clues in finding the correct recipients to his inheritance. It has detailed the extensive steps and challenges faced in the hopes that Marcel's account would serve as a reminder to all Australians that they have a valid will.
