Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make it his policy that patients receive written information before hysteroscopy and biopsy procedures.

We are committed to improving women’s experiences of gynaecological procedures, such as hysteroscopies.

Women should be provided with information prior to their procedure so that they can make an informed decisions about the procedure and pain relief options, including the option of local or general anaesthetic.
