That this House recognises that endometriosis can be a distressing disease which can lead to infertility, severe and chronic pain, emotional distress, inability to finish an education or sustain a career, with subsequent financial cost to the individual and the State due to delayed and incorrect diagnosis, as well as ineffective hit-and-miss treatments; is concerned that endometriosis, which is still a relatively unknown disease despite the fact that there are an estimated two million sufferers in the UK alone, is not a current national or primary care trust priority; and therefore would urge the Secretary of State for Health to look at this with the utmost urgency to ensure that girls and women in the UK with endometriosis will receive the specialist care they need and rightly deserve, but which most are presently not getting.

That this House condemns Southern Trains for continuing to run old slam-door passenger trains and as a consequence forcing wheelchair-using passengers to travel in the guards van with bars on the windows, which is not only an insult to disabled people but an affront to basic human decency; and calls upon Southern Trains to expedite their upgrading of rolling stock and bring an end to this barbaric and outdated practice.

That this House welcomes the Government's pledge to end child poverty by 2019; but is concerned that the problems in the administration of the tax credits system may undermine the aim of the scheme to reduce child poverty; is concerned that these problems have resulted in unnecessary overpayments, which have led to difficulties and hardships for families with children when these overpayments are recovered automatically from future tax credits entitlements; and calls on the Inland Revenue to introduce an amnesty in respect of all overpayments of tax credits made in the year 2003-2004 unless the overpayment was caused by fraud on the part of the claimant.

That this House welcomes the John Grooms Inquiry into the needs of young disabled people; notes that the report shows there is a constantly growing number of disabled people and further notes its worrying findings that policy-makers and service providers do not have sufficient accurate information about the situation facing disabled people, which often results in uncoordinated and inappropriate care, housing and health services; and calls on the Government to give greater priority to ensuring that the needs and rights of all disabled people are met and to play a strategic role in making available the necessary information so that future care services are coordinated effectively, funded adequately and are appropriate to the needs of the user.
