<p>No specific assessment has been made. We are investing £25 million in women’s health
hubs, so that women can get better access to care for menstrual problems, contraception,
menopause, and more. Integrated care boards (ICBs) are responsible for commissioning
services that meet the needs of their local population, and will determine the exact
services that their women’s health hub will provide, so long as they deliver the core
services set out in the Women’s Health Hubs: Core Specification, which is available
at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/womens-health-hubs-information-and-guidance/womens-health-hubs-core-specification"
target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/womens-health-hubs-information-and-guidance/womens-health-hubs-core-specification</a></p><p>Future
expansion of women’s health hubs will reflect the need to meet women’s health needs
holistically. This could also include developing care pathways into wider health and
public services, including those for cardiovascular disease, however hubs should not
create an additional step in the patient journey, or delay referral for specialist
or urgent care where required.</p>
