Apparently, the nuchal scan has only this year become available free on NHS (at least in our area, I'd have thought it's national). I spoke to a obst consultant about this when I had my dating scan and he said he's totally confident with their skills at doing the anomaly scan but provided they've only just starting out the nuchal scan, they are not going to be as skilled in it and it's a bit of straw of luck who you're going to get doing the scan...and if they any good.
He wasn't definitely drumming up business for himself cos been very complimentary about NHS just I think wanted to say that if you're concerned type, NHS might raise more questions than answer.
What's your experience with NHS for 12-week-scan? I've read quite a few people here have gone privately?
Thanks guys Love this forum
