Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 8 May 2024
616. Deputy Marc Ó Cathasaigh asked the Minister for Health for clarification on the method undertaken to create the endometriosis framework; when we can anticipate a release date; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [20735/24]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe HSE’s National Women & Infants Health Programme (NWIHP) is finalising the National Framework for Endometriosis in collaboration with the ICGP.
This Framework sets out a defined clinical care pathway for women with endometriosis with the care pathway spanning primary care to local hospital care to specialist complex care through multidisciplinary teams.
The framework is expected to be published in the coming weeks following final consultations with stakeholders.
With regards to the first part of your the question regarding clarification on the method undertaken to create the endometriosis framework, as the National Women and Infants Health Programme leads on the management, organisation and delivery of maternity, gynaecological and neonatal services, I have asked the Health Service Executive to respond to the Deputy directly, as soon as possible.
