Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to implement the Women's Health Strategy for England.

We are turning the commitments in the Women's Health Strategy into tangible action by delivering 5.2 million extra appointments, tackling gynaecology waiting lists by using the private sector, and by shortly making emergency hormonal contraception free in pharmacies.

The 2022 Women's Health Strategy identified many important issues which remain valid, so we now need to align the strategy with the 10-Year Health Plan and identify areas where we need to go further, which is why we are renewing the Women’s Health Strategy, to assess the progress that has been made so far and to continue progressing delivery.
