Member Debate under Standing Order 11.21(iv) - Women's healthcare - Postponed
NDM8566 Delyth
Jewell (South Wales East)
To propose that the Senedd:
1. Regrets the normalisation of women’s
physical and emotional pain in their healthcare, as well as the expectation
that pain is a regrettable but unavoidable aspect of women's health.
2. Believes that by consulting with
gynaecologists, midwives and women's health groups, health professionals should
aim to reduce situations where pain is expected and accepted as normal in NHS
healthcare.
3. Calls on the Welsh Government to:
a) strengthen the expectations for NHS
services in the Quality Statement for women and girls’ health;
b) establish a legal requirement for
healthcare providers to regularly collect feedback from female patients about
their experiences and satisfaction with the care they receive, especially in
relation to gynaecological appointments, midwifery and postnatal services,
perinatal mental health and menopause; and
c) introduce statutory obligations for the
development, coordination and implementation of the Women’s Health Plan
developed by the Welsh NHS and consulted on with gynaecologists, midwives and
women's health groups, which should include measures to address and counter the
normalisation of pain in women’s healthcare.
