Open Fund improvement to PCOS, Endometriosis, and Fertility Health care and treatment

Created by Sophie Ann Fowler
Closes on

We believe PCOS, endometriosis, and other fertility conditions are poorly understood, often dismissed, and leave patients in chronic pain with little hope. We urge the government to fund improvements in medical training and research to ensure earlier diagnosis, and provide proper long-term support.

I’ve suffered from PCOS and other fertility conditions—heavy periods, hair loss, chronic pain—and felt dismissed by doctors. I help others by sharing my story online, but I shouldn’t have to. No one should feel scared, alone, or left without answers. I’m starting this petition to urge the government to fund research, improve diagnosis, and provide real support so people like us finally get the care we deserve.

    Explainer

    Adjournment debates give an MP the opportunity to debate a topic they choose, and receive a response from the Government.

    They are a way to:

    • raise awareness of an issue
    • seek to influence government policy
    • put the views of the MP and the Government on record.

    They do not involve a vote on a particular action or decision.

    The debates take place at the end of each day in the House of Commons. They last for 30 minutes.

    See our visual explainer on how these debates work.
