The report recommends a wide range of evidence-informed policy solutions for central government, regional government and the health service which, if implemented, could improve the current situation for women’s health. #WomanOfTheNorth 2/4

Women living in the North of England are living shorter lives, working more hours for less pay and are more likely to be unpaid carers than women in other regions of England, a new report highlights.
Today, colleagues take the #WomanOfTheNorth report to Westminster.
