Scott Morrison has pledged $58 million for specialist endometriosis treatment centres in every state and territory in the next federal budget. We love to see more funding and awareness on the chronic disease, but the timing, media push by Morrison’s wife Jenny and teeny tiny sum of money are, let’s just say, questionable.
If the Coalition wins the next election it has promised to establish clinics for diagnosis, research and management of the disease which affects one in nine women. It will also expand free genetic testing for prospective parents under Medicare.
