Lack of endometriosis framework sees women suffer 'untold damage' 

A national endometriosis framework would set out a defined clinical care pathway for women with endometriosis, ensuring they can access appropriate treatments in a timely and cost-effective manner. 

Health authorities have been criticised for failing to publish a long-promised national endometriosis framework, with campaigners saying that women are suffering “untold damage”.

The state’s plans for improving treatment of the debilitating disease were described in April as being “in the final stages” of development during Dáil discussions.
