The government has been accused of ‘deprioritising women’s health’ after a new analysis found that almost 600,000 women in England are still waiting for gynaecological treatment, an increase of a third in the space of two years.
According to Labour analysis of data from the House of Commons library, there are at present 33,000 women who have been waiting for gynaecological treatments for more than a year, an increase of 43% since 2022.
The analysis also found that there is no region in England that is currently meeting the government’s target for cervical cancer screenings, noting how access to said screenings and gynaecological treatments is something of a ‘postcode lottery’.
