To ensure the Women’s Health Strategy reflects what women identify as priorities, the Government launched a 12 week call for evidence which will run until 30 May 2021 to gather women’s experiences and views regarding their health and care. The online survey within the call for evidence seeks information on menstrual health, heavy menstrual bleeding and other women-specific health concerns and will be carefully considered as part of our ongoing work on the Strategy.

Accessible information on sexual and reproductive health for women, including access to contraception, will be considered during the development of the Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategy. Heavy menstrual bleeding will not be covered in this Strategy.
