Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 5:53 pm on 5 July 2022.
Thanks very much. Certainly, I'm very aware, and I've heard on several occasions you talk about your experiences in terms of perinatal health, and the same with Buffy—very traumatic experiences, and you're representative of so many thousands of women who've been through a very, very traumatic time. And I think it's really important that we think through, and this is why the life-course thing is really important. It's not just about what happens at that moment, it's about what happens, as a result, for the rest of your life, to the point where, for example, lots of people have incontinence issues, for example. We've got to think about what the impact is throughout a person's life cycle. So, these are things, I hope, that will be brought out in the plan, where there will be a focus. What we're talking about here is a quality statement, where the expectation is that there will be access, and there will be an equality of access.
When it comes to endometriosis, I would like to commend also the work that Suzy Davies did, and I know that one of the last things that she did in this Senedd was to ensure that, actually, this was going to be something that was built into the curriculum, and so people will learn about it in the Welsh school curriculum.
