Principles
This Plan has 4 principles:
1. Addressing inequalities
There are unfair differences in people's health. These are called inequalities. Healthcare services should understand these so everyone is treated equally.

2. A life time approach
Women and girls have different health needs at different times in their lives. Services should understand this and help girls and women throughout their lives.
