I am pleased to announce that Phase Two of the Women’s Health Plan will be published tomorrow.Phase Two sets out action which will be taken forward over the next three years, driving towards our ambition that all women and girls in Scotland enjoy the best possible health, throughout their lives.New priorities in Phase Two of the Women’s Health Plan are focussed on tackling gynaecology waiting times, eliminating cervical cancer and prioritising women’s brain health.These priority areas are further supported by 40 new actions, reflecting the needs of women and girls across their lives.This phase is backed by additional funding of over £2.4 million to tackle gynaecological waiting times, bringing additional investment in gynaecology services to almost £13 million this year.Informed by a rich evidence base, including the voices of women and girls, Phase Two builds on the progress already made, including the appointment and work of the first Women’s Health Champion Professor Anna Glasier, development of a women’s health information platform on NHS Inform and our Women’s Health Research Fund.Phase Two will go live at 9am on Tuesday 20 January 2026 and can be accessed here: https://www.gov.scot/isbn/9781806435562.
