UK: 'I'm not being listened to' - new health plan launched as women say they are still ignored

Article here. Excerpt:

'The updated version of the strategy comes against a backdrop of criticism that women's voices are often ignored and marginalised by the NHS.

Streeting said some women have been made to feel like "second class citizens" with their pain treated "as an inconvenience and their symptoms as an overreaction".

In his interview with Woman's Hour, the health secretary described a "culture of medical misogyny, sexism in the NHS, both conscious and unconscious bias", in a system which was "getting disproportionately worse for women".

Among the new measures announced by the government is a new "patient power payment" scheme.

The government says this will enable women to give feedback and report their experiences of treatment. Based on that, money will be allocated to areas needing improvement, and providers getting negative feedback could lose funding.'
