The Senedd’s Health and Social Care Committee has been established to hold the Welsh Government to account on specific issues.
In 2022, the Committee started an inquiry into gynaecological cancers, they looked in particular at the experiences of women with symptoms of gynaecological cancer, how they are listened to and treated by healthcare professionals, and how services empower, care for and look after women diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer (to ensure their physical, psychological and practical needs are met).
In addition to holding an open call for evidence through its consultation, they also took evidence in person by with stakeholders including charities and health professionals.
The Committee worked with Tenovus Cancer Care to ensure women’s voices were heard as part of the inquiry.
