To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S7O-00051 by Angela Constance on 11 June 2026, what services it defines under the term gynaecology.

The answer

Answered by Angela Constance on 2 Jul 2026 · 15 days after it was lodged, on time

Gynaecology is the care of women with problems of the female reproductive system (ovaries, tubes, womb, cervix, vagina). Some gynaecologists specialise in urogynaecology (bladder incontinence), reproductive medicine (fertility problems and recurrent miscarriage), colposcopy (dealing with abnormal smears), gynae-oncology (cancer of the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries), contraception and menopause. It is worth noting that some of these services do not fall under gynaecology waiting times.
