Women's Health Plan - phase two 2026 to 2029: equality impact assessment

Recommendations and Conclusion

The Women’s Health Plan, and Phase Two, have been informed by a broad range of evidence on health inequalities in Scotland, including disparities experienced by individuals and communities across various protected characteristics. All actions included within the Plan ultimately are included to reduce health inequalities for women and girls.

The intersectional needs of women and girls will be central in the implementation of Phase Two of the Women’s Health Plan. We will continue to work closely with the Health and Social Care Alliance and Lived Experience Group to ensure the lived experience of women and girls is a central consideration in how these actions are delivered.

Shaping Policy and Monitoring

This EQIA is an ongoing process and this remains a working document covering the development and implementation of the Women’s Health Plan policy and subsequent Phases.
