To ask the Scottish Government what its position is regarding developing further regional specialist endometriosis centres across the country.
There are three specialist endometriosis centres which accept patients from across Scotland when specialist surgery for complex endometriosis is required.
This was recommended as the optimal approach for effective treatment by a specialist working group of clinicians and representatives from patient groups and Endometriosis UK. There are no plans to establish a specialist centre within every NHS Board.
