Maria Caulfield – 2022 Comments on the Women’s Health Strategy

The comments made by Maria Caulfield, the Minister for Women’s Health, on 13 April 2022.

For generations, women have lived in a healthcare system primarily designed by men, for men. We are committed to tackling the gender health gap, and the publication of our strategy later this year will mark a significant step forward.

I want to thank the expert individuals and organisations who took the time to respond to our call for evidence. The insights you have provided have been stark and sobering, but will be pivotal to ensuring our strategy represents the first hand experiences of the health care system.
