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 tackle health inequalities affecting women.

On 23 December 2021 we published “Our Vision for the Women’s Health Strategy for England”. This sets out an ambitious and positive new agenda to improve the health and wellbeing of women across England and reduce disparities. We will publish the full Women’s Health Strategy later this year.

In addition, the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities was established on 1 October 2021 to tackle the causes of ill-health and reduce disparities, including those which affect women.
