Recommendation 41

Women's health hub model shows promise but faces systemic challenges and risks unequal access.
Conclusion
The expansion of the women’s health hub model has the potential to be a positive step towards providing the joined-up care and commissioning needed to effectively support women experiencing reproductive health conditions. However, the women’s health hub model exists within a healthcare system which has significant commissioning, funding, workforce and expertise problems, particularly in the area of reproductive health. There are also risks that those not yet served by hubs, or with limited access such as in rural areas, will be disadvantaged. (Paragraph 159) 79
