The charity Fair Treatment for the Women of Wales (FTWW) is warning that care for Welsh patients is in crisis and needs urgent intervention from Welsh Government.<\/p>\n<p>Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition, affecting at least one in ten women, girls, and those assigned female at birth. It occurs when cells like those in the womb are found elsewhere in the body. These cells (or \u2018lesions\u2019) cause localised irritation and bleeding, leading to inflammation and the formation of scar tissue called adhesions \u2013 which can pull organs out of place or stick them together, resulting in pain and organ dysfunction. Despite being as common as diabetes and asthma, in Wales, it takes an average of nine years to diagnose \u2013 the longest of the home nations \u2013 and many patients describe being dismissed or misdiagnosed due to the lack of understanding and treatment for the condition.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/petitions.senedd.wales\/petitions\/244903\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>The petition was started by Beth Hales<\/strong><\/a>, a volunteer with FTWW and an endometriosis patient. She realised she had to act following a discussion with her husband. <em>\u201cWe realised that for the rest of our careers, we would have to work in jobs where at least one of us had private healthcare included for our daughters,\u201d <\/em><strong>said Beth.<\/strong><em> \u201cIf we don\u2019t and they grow up to have endometriosis as I do, they will be in serious trouble when trying to access treatment unless things significantly improve. We wouldn\u2019t have had to have that conversation if they were boys.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ftww.org.uk\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Making-the-Case-for-Better-Endometriosis-Treatment-in-Wales-Word-PDF.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>FTWW has been campaigning for improved healthcare for many years; they wrote the report \u2018Making the Case for Better Endometriosis Treatment in Wales\u2019 in 2015<\/strong><\/a>. In response,<a href=\"https:\/\/gov.wales\/sites\/default\/files\/publications\/2019-03\/endometriosis-care-in-wales-provision-care-pathway-workforce-planning-and-quality-and-outcome-measures.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong> Welsh Government formed the Endometriosis Task and Finish Group and \u2013 working with FTWW and healthcare professionals \u2013 published their recommendations in 2018, stating that \u2018Current service provision is not meeting need, resulting in lack of access to appropriate care for women across Wales.\u2019<\/strong><\/a> Whilst some recommendations have been implemented \u2013 such as the recruitment of endometriosis nurses and pelvic health co-ordinators in each health board \u2013 others have not, particularly those which would see more gynaecologists specialising in the condition, and equitable access to centres of excellence. Patients and healthcare professionals alike are calling for urgent Welsh Government intervention to improve services.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_39579\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ftww.org.uk\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_20220202_125146.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-39579\" class=\"wp-image-39579 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/ftww.org.uk\/2021\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/IMG_20220202_125146-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Beth (right) with Sarah Murphy MS\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-39579\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sarah Murphy MS with Beth Hales<\/p><\/div>\n<p><em>\u201cHad those recommendations been implemented, I would not have needed to create this petition,\u201d<\/em><strong> said Beth<\/strong>. <em>\u201cUnfortunately, endometriosis care is now in crisis; Wales has lost a specialist from Wales\u2019 only fully-accredited specialist centre (based in Cardiff) and there are no plans to replace him. Referrals from other health board areas are being rejected, against NICE guidance, and patients are being forced to take out loans to pay privately \u2013 patients who are lucky enough to have their referrals accepted to the two NHS specialists are now being told they face a wait for up to seven-and-a-half years for the surgery they need. The system was near breaking point before the pandemic but now it has been completely decimated.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Chair of the Women\u2019s Health Cross Party Group and Chair of the Equality and Social Justice Committee, <strong>Jenny Rathbone MS<\/strong>, has long campaigned for Endometriosis patients. In October 2020, the MS for Cardiff Central proposed a motion that the Senedd should recognise the devastating impact of the condition, acknowledge the diagnostic delay, make menstrual wellbeing education mandatory for all Welsh pupils, and ensure that more endometriosis specialists are trained and accessible to patients across Wales. Despite the motion being unanimously agreed, only the teaching of menstrual wellbeing education has moved forward, having been added to the new school curriculum. <em>\u201cI am pleased to receive Beth\u2019s petition today at the Senedd,\u201d <\/em><strong>said Jenny.<\/strong><em> \u201cBut it is disappointing that full recommendations from the 2018 report are taking so long to implement. Women are suffering tremendously and it is casting a huge shadow on their lives through no fault of their own. Welsh Government must act now to get their health needs addressed.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The petition also has the support of <strong>Amelia Womack, Deputy Leader of the Green Party of England and Wales, and Welsh writer and actor, Sian Harries<\/strong>, who is also an endometriosis patient.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe lack of appropriate care for endometriosis patients in Wales is nothing short of a scandal,\u201d<\/em><strong> said Amelia.<\/strong><em> \u201cPatients having referrals refused (in breach of NICE guidelines), seven-and-a-half year waiting lists, and patients being advised to go private should not be happening in the country that is blessed with the NHS. In 2018 the Welsh Government committed to becoming a feminist government \u2013 that cannot happen while so many women are being denied appropriate healthcare, losing their jobs and their quality of lives because of the impact of their symptoms, and falling victim to a postcode lottery.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cWe&#8217;re told one in ten women suffer from endometriosis &#8211; although personally I believe there are more of us, as I know so many women currently suffering with symptoms but who can&#8217;t get a diagnosis in a healthcare system full of shoddy advice and a lack of understanding, specialists and facilities,\u201d <\/em><strong>said Sian.<\/strong><em> \u201cThis debilitating disease also has a knock-on effect on these women&#8217;s children, partners, families and employers. Wales is such a caring country, traditionally implementing progressive policies to protect society &#8211; free school meals for children, free prescriptions, the rules we put in place to protect our NHS throughout the pandemic. It therefore makes no sense to see Wales lagging behind England and Scotland when it comes to protecting women&#8217;s health and this petition highlights the support out there from those who desperately want this to change.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Beth\u2019s petition received nearly six thousand signatures, and she submitted four key questions to the Petition\u2019s Committee regarding the following:<br \/>\n1. What element of the \u00a3140m pledged by the health minister for tackling NHS waiting lists will be allocated to endometriosis?<br \/>\n2. Accredited Endometriosis specialists have reduced from three to two for the whole of Wales \u2013 what are the timescales for increasing this number to six, as per the recommendations of the 2018 report?<br \/>\n3. What plans do Welsh Government have to ensure equal access to appropriate endometriosis healthcare regardless of patients\u2019 locations?<br \/>\n4. With Cardiff currently the only fully accredited specialist centre in Wales, are there plans to develop similar facilities in other health boards, and will the funding system change to allow funding to follow the patient for out-of-area referrals?<\/p>\n<p>The office for <strong>Eluned Morgan MS<\/strong>, Welsh Government\u2019s Health Minister\u2019s response states that \u201cWelsh Government officials wrote to health boards in August 2018 seeking assurance that services were being delivered in line with the NICE guidance on endometriosis and all health boards confirmed compliance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cSadly, this is not reflected in what patients across Wales are reporting,\u201d <\/em><strong>said Beth.<\/strong><em> \u201cWe hear regularly of referrals to specialists being refused, and this is nothing new; it is described in the 2018 Task &amp; Finish Group Report, and it continues today. This is why FTWW joined more than twenty organisations to launch the pan-Wales campaign, \u2018Ending the Postcode Lottery\u2019, calling for an overarching NHS executive to mandate service provision and processes to improve patient care. It should not be left to small charities like ours to pick up the pieces.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There is some hope on the horizon; with Women\u2019s Health Plans being developed by the Scottish and UK Governments, in Wales, a third sector coalition of over 40 organisations, charities and royal colleges are developing a Women and Girls\u2019 Health Plan, which they hope to see implemented by Welsh Government in partnership with coalition members and patient advocates.
