Abstract

Despite the existence of the NHS, the UK has a Gender Health Gap. Women, especially those of low socio-economic status, have worse health outcomes than men. Genevieve Jeffrey traces the history of this health discrepancy from pre-NHS times to the present, focussing on the inequities of maternity care.
