Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 April 2026

Debate

Women’s Health Strategy

Contribution

We have taken action to bring down gynaecology waiting lists, introduced menopause questions into routine health checks, made the morning-after pill available for free at high street pharmacies, stood up a rapid and independent investigation into maternity services, and introduced Jess’s rule, so that GP teams have to ‘reflect, review and rethink’ if a patient presents three times with the same or escalating symptoms.
