Detail of outcome

For 14 weeks, from March to June 2021, the UK government sought views on women’s health issues and women’s experiences of the healthcare system in England.

We have now published the full analysis of this call for evidence in 2 separate reports. The first analytical report (released in December 2021) summarises feedback from nearly 100,000 individuals who responded to the ‘Women’s Health – Let’s talk about it’ survey component of the consultation. The second report (released in April 2022) summarises feedback from 436 individuals and organisations with expertise in women’s health. Both reports should be read together for a complete picture of the evidence generated.

The results have directly informed Our Vision for the Women’s Health Strategy for England as well as the full strategy, due to be published later this year.
