the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland
Answer from Hansard
The Minister for Women and Equalities (Anneliese Dodds)
We have had many conversations with the Health Secretary about this, because it is unacceptable that women were let down because of the lack of action by the previous Government. We are overhauling women’s healthcare and placing women’s equality at the heart of our agenda, including by investing an extra £26 billion in the health system.
