Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland (28 Jun 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: I want to ask about data but, as Ms Darcy mentioned research, I will note that I was referencing the Australian version from 2018. I came across a significant announcement from those involved in the research there from June of this year so that strategy is obviously producing research outcomes as a result of this work being funded. I want to go back to data. I feel like I am always the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland (28 Jun 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: 100%. That brings me to what was mentioned earlier about genetic issues being at play.

This was possibly encouraged by the Covid pandemic and children's experience of it. The idea that there is a genetic link deals with that in the home to some extent but how can we support children in schools?...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland (28 Jun 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: My final question is on the issue of surgeons and training. Have I misunderstood the conversation? It sounds like we have very few. Perhaps we might need to send surgeons for training abroad. Have I picked that up incorrectly or is that possibly what we need to look at?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health: Services for the Treatment of Endometriosis: Endometriosis Association of Ireland (28 Jun 2023)

Neasa Hourigan: I just want to be clear because I am trying to imagine what the strategy will look like when it is done. When we have the supraregional endometriosis specialist centres, that small cohort will then actively be training more surgeons in this area. Would those surgeons be trained to stay within the specialist centres or to go out to more localised versions? Does the EAI envisage all major...
