Endometriosis Enquiry 2020
In 2020, the government launched an enquiry into endometriosis. The inquiry will see patients and healthcare practitioners share their first-hand experiences and advise the Government on what steps need to be taken to ensure people with endometriosis are getting the right care at the right time.
The news follows a study conducted by the BBC which highlighted the potentially devastating impact endometriosis can have – including on education, career, and mental health, with around half stating they have experienced suicidal thoughts.
The new inquiry, led by the APPG (All Party Parliamentary Group) on Endometriosis with support from Endometriosis UK, will investigate the many challenges facing those with endometriosis, and what steps the Government needs to take to turn this around.
