Richard is encouraging women across North East Bedfordshire to come forward and share their experiences through the Government’s consultation to reshape the future of women’s healthcare.
The first of its kind, the Women’s Health Strategy will address women’s health in England over the course of their lifetimes from adolescence through to older age. It will focus on health issues specific to women as well as the ways in which women experience health issues.
First launched in March, there has already been an incredible response to the call for evidence, with over 75,000 women, organisations, clinicians and carers responding so far. However, responses from Eastern Region make up just 7 per cent of the total responses so far – meaning women across the East of England may not be properly represented in the new strategy.
To enable as many women as possible to have their say and capture a variety of views on access to services, experiences and health outcomes, the call for evidence will be now extended by 2 weeks, to close on 13 June.
Commenting, Richard Fuller, Member of Parliament for North East Bedfordshire, said:
As we mark International Day of Action for Women's Health, I am calling on women across North East Bedfordshire to respond to the government's call for evidence to help inform our landmark Women's Health Strategy.
The first of its kind, the strategy will address women's health in England over the course of their lifetimes, focusing on issues specific to women and the different ways they experience health issues.
