The women's health task force is very welcome because in the past healthcare has been very patriarchal. It has let down women many times and women's healthcare in Ireland must be addressed. It is ironic that the task force was established because it was recommended in the scoping inquiry on the cervical screening programme after women had been completely let down. That should be remembered in the tribunal that will take place soon.

What areas will be developed around gynaecological health? Will it address endometriosis, something that one in ten women suffers from? It can take up to nine years for a diagnosis.
