Why do we need women's and girl's health hub?

Why do we need this? While the NHS and Local Authorities provide high quality care in many places. The way services are currently funded and provided can make it difficult for some women and girls to access 'women's health' services, support and advice in a timely way. Many of these women go on to suffer ill-health that could have been prevented or treated earlier to enable them to live healthier for longer. - Despite very good evidence that Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can help relieve many issues women face with menopause - there is a lack of awareness about how HRT can help and how to access it alongside other well-being support, and women in south east London are less likely than other parts of England to be prescribed HRT. - Nearly 50% of pregnancies in England are unplanned but many women do not know what they need to do to help increase their chance of having a healthy birth and birth experience, or what to do to help prevent becoming pregnant if they do not wish to have children. - Many girls might be dealing with heavy periods or potential signs of a condition called endometriosis but may not feel comfortable talking about this with a health care professional or know where to go for support.
