It has been suggested to me that it takes nine years to be diagnosed here. I also wanted to highlight the difficulties that some patients are having in obtaining treatment abroad, and indeed payment when treatment has been obtained. This has been highlighted to me by a sufferer. I also urge the HSE to work with the Endometriosis Association of Ireland to devise a public awareness campaign to highlight the condition. I see it has very informative leaflets available already.
