Endometriosis: Diagnosis
(asked on 19th March 2025) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what data his Department uses to monitor endometriosis diagnosis waiting times.
This question was answered on 25th March 2025
It is unacceptable that women can wait up to 10 years for an endometriosis diagnosis.
We achieved our manifesto pledge of 2 million extra appointments seven months early. This includes appointments for endometriosis, and our new agreement with the independent sector will help cut waiting lists faster. An ONS study is linking primary and secondary care data to better understand diagnosis times for endometriosis.
