Dilation and Curettage (D&C) for Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

Not Routinely Funded

Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board (ICB) do not fund D&C as a diagnostic or treatment option for heavy menstrual bleeding, as there is very little evidence to suggest that it works to investigate or treat heavy periods.

Cases for Individual Funding Consideration

On a case to case basis, patients might be eligible for surgical intervention, in consideration of their exceptionality. The requesting clinician must provide information to support the case for being considered an exception, by submitting an individual funding request.
