Health Services: LGBT+ People
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he has considered developing an LGBT+ health strategy.
Answered by Ashley Dalton
The Government is committed to ensuring that the National Health Service is there for everyone when they need it, providing equal access to health care which promotes choice and inclusivity. As a result, as of April 2025, my Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care commissioned NHS England to undertake an LGBT+ health evidence review.
The review is being led by Dr Michael Brady, the National Advisor for LGBT Health at NHS England, and was launched in July 2025. It is considering how we can better understand LGBT+ healthcare needs, provide expert insight and recommendations, and build a foundation for future action on health inequalities.
It will conclude in early 2026 with a final report and recommendations for my Rt Hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. Further information on what the review covers, and its methodology, can be found at the following link:
