Speaking in the House of Commons on 25 November 2025

Debate

Health Inequalities

Contribution

When my constituent Rachel attended numerous A&E departments with severe abdominal pain, swelling, fever and nausea, her fears of a ruptured ovarian cyst were repeatedly dismissed. In her day-to-day life Rachel is a professional advising on antimicrobial resistance around the world, but as a patient she felt that her concerns were being ignored and that she was being pushed aside. She is determined to use her experience to challenge the unacceptable medical misogyny that she and other women across the UK still face too often. What action are the Government taking to ensure that women are not left to endure painful reproductive health conditions, and will the Secretary of State agree to meet Rachel to hear her story at first hand?
