We launched a 12-week public call for evidence on longer term measures to support mental health, wellbeing and suicide prevention, which closed on 7 July 2022. We are currently analysing the over 5,000 submissions received from a range of stakeholders in England, including women’s organisations. We have also appointed a Women’s Health Ambassador for England to raise the profile of women’s health, increase awareness and work with stakeholders, including women and girls from under-served groups, to implement the Women’s Health Strategy.
