Fair For All - Gender

supports the NHS in Scotland to mainstream gender equality considerations into the planning, design and delivery of health services to ensure they meet their obligations under the public sector Gender Equality Duty (2007).

All public sector bodies have to consider:

• 1. The need to eliminate sex discrimination and harassment
• 2. The need to promote equality of opportunity between women and men.

Health boards in Scotland needs to take into account the different needs and health experiences of women and men from all ages and backgrounds to provide better outcomes for service users and their staff.
