Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the Women's Health Strategy, whether he has had meetings with stakeholders in mental health on improving healthcare professionals listening to women’s mental health needs since the publication of that strategy.

Ministers have had no such meetings since the Women’s Health Strategy was published on 20 July 2022.

However, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for Mental Health and Women’s Health Strategy met with Professor Dame Lesley Regan, the Women’s Health Ambassador for England, on 20 December 2022 to discuss a range of issues regarding the implementation of the Women’s Health Strategy.
