The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what recent discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care on expanding access to women's health hubs.

Answered by Karin Smyth

We know that women’s health hubs are an effective model for improving access to and experiences of care for women and girls.
This government is encouraging integrated care boards to expand the coverage of women’s health hubs and is supporting them to use what we learned from the hub pilot programme to improve local delivery of services to women and girls.
The Government is backing ICBs to do this through record funding.
