Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, with reference to the recommendations in the APPG on Sexual and Reproductive Health’s report Women’s Lives, Women’s Rights, whether the forthcoming national Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategy will incorporate all aspects of women’s sexual and reproductive health needs and recognise the changing needs of women throughout their lives.

The Sexual and Reproductive Health Strategy will include women’s sexual health and related aspects of women’s reproductive health. The Department is also developing a new Women’s Health Strategy, which will also include women’s reproductive health, with a focus on reproductive wellbeing. Together, the two Strategies will cover all aspects of women’s reproductive health needs and recognise the changing needs of women throughout their lives.
