Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, to what extent organisations involved in the Women’s Voices Partnership are representative of women excluded from and underrepresented in traditional engagement and consultation processes.

As part of the Renewed Women's Health Strategy, we will establish the women’s voices partnership, a new space for organisations representing women to inform national decision making. The partnership will focus on women most excluded from traditional services.

Action 66 will be delivered through engagement with organisations in the voluntary, community, and social enterprise sector and private sector partners. An update on the workstream will be announced in due course.

We are considering how best to keep stakeholders informed of progress in implementing the Renewed Women’s Health Strategy and will provide updates through appropriate channels as implementation progresses. We will provide further updates to the House in the normal way in due course.
