Women's Health Strategy: Call for Evidence

There is a call for evidence on the subject of women's health. In many ways it is very good but the age-old point is of course. Matt Hancock recognises that, "For generations, women have lived with a health and care system that is mostly designed by men, for men," and whilst them recognising this and appealing for feedback is excellent it is useless if they can't define a woman, can't recognise women in their research and data collection, don't record the sex of staff so they can't tell patients if her practioner is male or female (so she can make informed consent to intimate care), don't provide single sex toilets so women feel comfortable attending their appointments, etc.

If you are interested in reading and responding (the response part is quite a long way down, keep scrolling) it is here:

Ah, sorry, of course health is devolved.
