The Government's Women's Health Strategy published last week commits to addressing disparities in outcomes experienced by some groups – including Disabled women. The strategy's "six key points for transformational change" include one aimed at "ensuring that a woman's age, ethnicity, sexuality, disability, or where she is from does not impact upon her ability to access services, or the treatment they receive". It also promises to improve data collection around the health of Disabled women and some other groups covered by equalities legislation – including women from ethnic minorities.
