I'm glad Sheffield council voted today to join calls on the government to properly fund women's health care, and to ask NHS South Yorkshire ICB to take urgent action to address the gynaecology waiting list ✅

& to thank all the fab health care workers supporting women's health in Sheffield and SY 🙏
