Waiting times for endometriosis care are "a catastrophe", a Lothian MP has said.

Kirsteen Sullivan, Labour MP for Bathgate and Linlithgow, said that despite the condition being widespread it remained poorly understood, with women and girls struggling to access care and treatment and average diagnosis times of almost nine years.

And she called on the Scottish Government to set clear targets to reduce diagnosis waiting times, provide better access to treatment and increase awareness of the condition.
