Expand endometriosis services in Northern Ireland
Bring down gynaecologist waiting lists and expand services to treat endometriosis properly in the North.
Why is this important?
Tens of thousands of women in NI are suffering from the unbearable pain of endometriosis - where cells similar to those in the lining of the womb are found in other parts of the body - and will have to wait years for surgery.
This is a crisis. Nearly 60,000 women and those assigned female at birth in the North are now on gynaecologist waiting lists - an 18% increase in the last year and the highest waiting time in the UK.
Nobody deserves to be in this much pain and wait years to get the right treatment.
We call on Health Minister Mike Nesbitt to bring down gynaecologist waiting lists and expand services to treat endometriosis properly.
