Stoate questions Health Minister Dr. Stoate: To ask the Secretary of State for Health if she will take steps to launch a website cataloguing best practice to support those introducing gender equality duties in the NHS.
Ms Rosie Winterton: The Department has already produced guidance for national health service organisations that have a duty to implement the forthcoming gender equality duty. ‘Creating a Gender Equality Scheme: A practical guide for the NHS' is posted on the Department website and includes examples of good practice in both service and workforce areas. The Department has also recently launched single equality scheme web guidance '10 Steps to Your SES' to support NHS organisations to comply with all existing and emerging public sector duties in a coherent and cross cutting way. This also provides the opportunity for NHS organisations to share examples of best practice on an ongoing basis. |
