The requested data is not centrally held by the Department, but on the wider issue raised by the Hon. Member, our Renewed Women's Health Strategy recognises that – for millions of women – endometriosis and other gynaecological conditions can have a devastating impact on their wellbeing, their relationships, and their participation in the workforce, and states our commitment to improve the treatment and ongoing care for every woman affected.
