The National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) has advised the Department that it does not collect the data necessary to allow it to determine how many gynaecology outpatient appointments or inpatient/day case procedures funded by the NTPF related to a diagnosis of or treatment for endometriosis.

The NTPF has provided the data attached showing the number of gynaecology outpatient appointments and inpatient/day case procedures approved for funding by the NTPF in the time period 2017-2024.
