Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask Her Majesty's Government further to their publication Our Vision for the Women’s Health Strategy for England, published on 23 December 2021, what engagement the Department for Health and Social Care has had with (1) survivors of domestic abuse, (2) support groups for victims of domestic abuse, and (3) representatives of organisations campaigning to end violence against women and girls.

The Call for Evidence, which informs the priorities, content and actions of the Women’s Health Strategy for England was open for 14 weeks. Organisations and individuals were invited to contribute, including those supporting the victims of domestic abuse and with lived experience. Since publication, we have continued to engage with representatives from the sector.
