Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, if he will make an estimate of the number of women who have lost their fertility as a result of delays to accessing endometriosis services during the covid-19 outbreak; and if he will make a statement.

We have no plans to make an estimate.

A call for evidence was launched to inform the priorities, content and actions of England’s first Women’s Health Strategy with questions on gynaecological conditions including endometriosis. Analysis of the evidence gathered is underway and we aim to publish the Women’s Health Strategy later this year.
