Rejected petition Bring an Endometriosis Specialist & Specialist Centre back to Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland currently does not have a Endometriosis Specialist. Women here have no specialist input or treatment for this debilitating condition!
More details
Women with Endometriosis have the right to medical and surgical treatment of such a debilitating condition: chronic pain, infertility, nausea, endometriomas etc. Endometriosis causes problems throughout the body and our Health Service are letting women with this condition down. 1 in 10 women have Endometriosis.

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Decisions about healthcare in Northern Ireland are a matter for the Northern Ireland Executive and Northern Ireland Assembly, not the UK Government or Parliament.
If you want to raise this issue you could contact your MLA, or raise it with the Northern Ireland Executive.
