In a statement to the BBC, Samantha Niblett, MP for South Derbyshire, said it was an “honour” to meet Evie when she attended a recent surgery and she has offered her “full support”.
She said: “It shouldn’t be such a struggle, and it’s why I am looking forward to hearing the plans to be announced this year with government’s update to the Women’s Health Strategy, external.
“Having sat on the women and equalities committee when we completed the report on medical misogyny, I am hoping to see recommendations made in that report taken on board by government,” she continued.
A Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson previously said it was renewing the Women’s Health Strategy, training new doctors on endometriosis and cutting waiting times for gynaecology treatment.
“We are also opening women’s health hubs providing care for menstrual problems and endometriosis, and prioritising the condition through NHS online so women can get quicker access to NHS care.”
