Recommendation 11
11
Deferred
Paragraph: 77
Government's current response to sportswomen's health issues lacks a coordinated cross-sector approach.
Conclusion
While there are positive signs of change in the sports and exercise research sector, a more concerted and coordinated, cross-sector approach is required to achieve equality of attention to health and physiology-related issues affecting sportswomen, including those arising from kit and equipment. We note the Government’s acceptance of Karen Carney’s recommendation for it to convene a cross-sector group to consider these issues, but its response needs to go much further than its current commitment to a single round table meeting.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government partially accepts the recommendation but largely responds by detailing employment rights, maternity leave, and pay for sportswomen, which is unrelated to the call for a more coordinated cross-sector approach for health, physiology, and kit issues.
