It is always important as well to recognise the debilitating impact that endometriosis can have on somebody's life, their ability to be at work or their ability to care for children. It is a serious condition that needs intervention. It is important to set out where the specialist centres are. There are supraregional ones in Dublin, in Tallaght and in Cork University Maternity Hospital. The five regional hubs are in the Rotunda, the Coombe, the National Maternity Hospital, University Hospital Limerick and University Hospital Galway. The idea is to try to provide interdisciplinary care to women experiencing endometriosis up to a moderate stage - for example, the cohort of women whose symptoms cannot be adequately managed in their primary care setting. All of those five regional hub sites are now taking referrals and providing treatment pathways for those women.
