Genito-urinary Medicine: Diagnosis (15 October 2021)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what plans his Department has to (a) increase capacity for outpatient diagnostic services for menstrual and reproductive health conditions and (b) introduce women’s health hubs to improve access to those services.

Asked by:
Alex Davies-Jones (Labour)

Answer

There are no current plans to do so. The provision of local health services available to patients, including women’s health hubs, is a matter for clinical commissioning groups, which have a statutory responsibility to commission healthcare services that meet the needs of their whole population.
