The question
To ask the Scottish Government what activity has been carried out by the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) to review access to hysterectomies for women of a child-bearing age.
The answer
The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) has not carried out activity to review access to hysterectomies for women of a child-bearing age. This is because reviewing access to a service is not within the remit of SIGN. SIGN develops guidelines for NHSScotland that make evidence-based recommendations for diagnosis and treatment of patients.
