Detail of outcome

For 14 weeks, from March to June 2021, the UK government sought views on women’s health issues and women’s experiences of the healthcare system in England.

We have now published the full analysis of this call for evidence in 2 separate reports. The first analytical report (released in December 2021) summarises feedback from nearly 100,000 individuals who responded to the ‘Women’s Health – Let’s talk about it’ survey component of the consultation. The second report (released in April 2022) summarises feedback from 436 individuals and organisations with expertise in women’s health. Both reports should be read together for a complete picture of the evidence generated.

The results have directly informed Our Vision for the Women’s Health Strategy for England as well as the full strategy, due to be published later this year.

Original call for evidence

Call for evidence description

We’re seeking your views to help inform the development of the government’s Women’s Health Strategy. The easiest way to participate in the call for evidence as an individual is by completing the public survey.

We also welcome written submissions from individuals or organisations who have expertise in women’s health, such as researchers and third-sector organisations. Written submissions can include the contribution of data, research and other reports of relevance to women’s health.

The consultation documents provide further guidance.

Everyone aged 16 and over is welcome to contribute to the call for evidence.
