Women’s Health Strategy

Minister updates Parliament

A ministerial statement on the government's Women's Health Strategy, presented by Karin Smyth. This will outline Labour's approach to improving health outcomes and healthcare services for women, addressing gender-specific health concerns and workforce issues within the NHS.

Women's health is a major public health priority affecting half the population. This strategy will likely address maternal health, menopause support, reproductive health, and women's representation in the health workforce, signalling the government's commitment to gender equality in healthcare access and employment.

Ministerial statements draw questions from across the House — any MP may participate, so we don't show a predicted interest list.
