Women's health plan: second annual progress report - January 2024

Next Steps

The current iteration of the Women’s Health Plan comes to a close in August 2024. In order to dedicate the necessary effort to the delivery of the current Plan, work will begin on the next phase of the Plan after that time.

From September, work will commence on the development of the next iteration. Consultation will take place with women and girls, including our lived experienced stakeholder group, clinical experts, academics and those working in the women’s health arena to determine the priorities, aims and actions that will form the content of the policy.

During the interim phase between the end of the current policy and the development of the next, work will continue to improve women’s health with the long-term actions acting as a bridge between policies to ensure that work continues.

The current governance structure will remain, with the working groups continuing to drive forward the ambitions of the Plan, so that all women and girls in Scotland enjoy the best possible health, throughout their lives.
