Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 4:59 pm on 18 May 2022.
I'm always pleased to take part in any debate about women's health, but I think that the way the motion has been phrased is a little unfortunate because it isn't either timely nor is it strategic in its approach, so it's going to have limited impact. This is because the health Minister has already announced in the Senedd a few weeks ago that she was working on an equality statement on women's health that she was going to deliver before the summer recess, and she's also told us in the Chamber that she's conducting line-by-line scrutiny of health boards' intermediate development plans. I'm confident that she's looking through the lens of women's health as well as the more general efficiency and effectiveness with which they are deploying their obligations towards women.
