NHS: Sanitary Products
(asked on 18th June 2020) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the level of need for period product provision in NHS facilities.
This question was answered on 25th June 2020
The Department is not aware of any assessment of the level of need for period product provision in National Health Service facilities having been undertaken.
However, NHS England announced in March 2019 that providers of NHS-funded inpatient hospital services will offer period products to every hospital in-patient who needs them (including for long-term inpatients)
This is under the terms of the NHS Standard Contract.
