Focusing on the 51%: Women’s Health Wales Coalition Manifesto Launched
We are excited to announce the publication of the third sector Women’s Health Wales Coalition’s Manifesto for 2026-2030, Focusing on the 51%. As we approach the 2026 Senedd Elections, Focusing on the 51% sets out a clear vision for a future where the wellbeing of women, families, and wider society is assured. It calls on the next Welsh Government to make women’s health a priority across all policy areas, and for NHS Wales to ensure implementation of the 10-year Women’s Health Plan, published in 2024.
