Give women’s health greater priority in the 10-Year Health Plan for England — 297 signatures. Status: closed.
This could involve improving access to specialist care from puberty to post-menopause, training healthcare professionals to better acknowledge and validate women’s symptoms, removing barriers linked to age, race or income, increasing investment, and involving more women in decisions.
We think women have long been underserved and dismissed in healthcare. From periods to menopause, millions can face delays, misdiagnosis, and lack of support. One poll suggested that 93% of women feel dismissed when seeking help. Younger women can be told they're “too young,” older women can be ignored, and racial disparities can persist. We demand equal access, credible information, investment, and action. Women’s health must be treated as essential.
