Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure the renewed Women’s Health Strategy is supported by clear implementation plans, timelines and measurable outcomes.

The Renewed Women’s Health Strategy for England, published on 15 April 2026, is designed to be implemented through clear actions with defined timelines, responsible delivery organisations and success measures.

The summary of actions tables found throughout the Renewed Women’s Health Strategy highlights clearly the responsible delivery organisation, and the planned timeframe, for all 117 actions to which the Department has committed. Change will be immediate and ongoing. Some actions are already underway or funded this year, others will be delivered over the next two to five years, and more fundamental reforms will be phased over the next decade, aligned with the 10-Year Health Plan. The renewed strategy sets out clear milestones and accountability to ensure progress continues.
