audio by title 'survey of lesbian and bisexual women s health'

The Department of Health’s Equalities and Human Rights group organises an annual conference for stakeholders interested in the work of its Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Advisory Group (SOGIAG). Over the course of a full day’s proceedings each of the various work stream chairs normally present details of what their team has been working on during the year. Senior civil servants also discuss their work and inclusion aims too.

Ruth Hunt from Stonewall spoke twice within the proceedings. In this first presentation she previewed a major survey of lesbian and bisexual women’s health, funded by Lloyds-TSB Foundation and conducted as a partnership between Stonewall and DeMontford University.

NOTE: The survey has now been launched (see www.stonewall.org.uk/health) and it is important to note that trans people are welcomed to take part if they wish to do so.
