View answerThe HSE’s National Women and Infants Health Programme has led on the development of the National Endometriosis Framework and on the expansion of existing endometriosis services. The Framework formalises a defined clinical pathway for women with endometriosis. Following extensive engagement with a wide range of stakeholders, the Framework is being finalised for publication. The Framework will be supported by a General Practice Update for GPs, helping to better inform primary care and further raise awareness of endometriosis and how it presents within the primary care setting. The completed framework will be published shortly.
