Yesterday I attended a powerful drop-in event on Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) in Parliament hosted by the PCOS charity Verity.
PCOS affects 1 in 8 women in the UK impacting reproductive, metabolic and mental health. Yet treatment and support is inaccessible to many women.
In support of constituents suffering from Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) I went to the @APPG_PCOS report launch. It shows just how urgently we need reform in diagnosis, treatment and support. Millions are impacted. We must do better. [pcosappg.co.uk/2025-report-br…]

Our report Breaking the Cycle calls on Government to:
✅ Embed new NICE guidelines into a national diagnostic pathway
✅ Integrate PCOS care in Women’s Health Hubs
