The renewed strategy will set out how the government will take the next steps to improve women's healthcare as part of the 10-Year Health Plan and create a system that 'listens to women's experiences and tackles the inequalities they face'. 

As part of the renewal, which will be published next year, the government will look to identify specific barriers in access to healthcare and set out action to remove them.

Opinions from women who contributed to our 10-Year Health Plan consultation will play a central role in developing the strategy, according to the government.

Health and social care secretary, Wes Streeting, said: ‘We inherited a broken NHS, and as a result too many women are still subject to system that doesn't listen to their experiences or understand their needs. 

‘Whether it's being passed from one specialist to another for conditions like endometriosis or PCOS, the lack of proper pain relief during procedures, or unacceptable gynaecology waiting lists — it's clear the system is failing women, and it shouldn't be happening.

‘Our renewed strategy will set out our longer-term vision so every woman gets the healthcare she deserves, when she needs it. We're determined to build an NHS in which women can feel safe and can trust.'
