The Women’s Health Strategy’s aim is to improve the health of all women and girls. We recognise that some transgender and non-binary people may also experience some of the same issues covered, for example cervical screening or menopause care.
We also recognise that people who are transgender or non-binary have specific health needs, and work is ongoing across government to address these.
