The information requested is not held centrally.
There is no fixed definition of what a hub is. The National Institute for Health and Care Research-funded Birmingham, RAND and Cambridge Evaluation Centre have been commissioned to undertake an evaluation of women’s health hubs. The final report is due to be published in April 2023, however, the interim evaluation report was published in October 2022. The interim evaluation report can be found at the following link:
The study is looking at what and where Women’s Health Hubs are; their characteristics; and how hubs are working for the women who use them, and the staff working in them.
