Constituency questions

Monbulk electorate


Daniela DE MARTINO

Monbulk electorate

Daniela DE MARTINO (Monbulk) (15:01): (813) My constituency question is for the Minister for Health. The Allan Labor government’s landmark inquiry into women’s pain has revealed the significant impact pain conditions like endometriosis, pelvic pain and migraines are having on the lives of Victorian women and girls. What do the results of this indicate about the experiences of women’s pain across the district of Monbulk? More than 13,000 women and girls across the state have shared their personal experiences of pain and its management to help shape the way we as a government deliver treatment, care and support for women in Victoria, and I would like to thank each and every woman and girl who made their voice heard, including those who attended the Dandenong Ranges women’s health forum last month. I would like to thank the wonderful Parliamentary Secretary for Women’s Health the member for Northcote and the fabulous Minister for Equality in the other place Minister Shing for attending these events and listening to women in my electorate. I look forward to hearing the response from the minister.
