Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland
Ms Ilanna Darcy:
My understanding is that the majority will be dealt with at primary care level. There will be two additional multidisciplinary teams for some cases, and the ones that are deemed complex will go to these expert treatment centres. Our concern is that if it is deemed complex or simple based on symptoms, what happens if it is the wrong understanding of those symptoms, and later down the line we then end up with people who are deemed to have the simple condition but then end up with other issues that subsequently have to be dealt with.
