This book explores regulatory conundrums around adolescent sexual
health, abortion and assisted reproductive technologies in the UK.
In doing so, it seeks to examine the various stages at which
women's reproductive health comes into contact with government
action and assesses how these legal and policy fields are shaped
through the conceptual lens of policy networks. Transformed
expectations of women's roles, along with developed biological
capabilities and understandings of gender and sexuality have driven
an increasingly complex politics of sex and reproduction. The book
argues that assumed medial control over these issues is
overshadowed by government calculations of cost-effectiveness.
Moreover, decisions on the design of programmes and levels of
access continually reflect traditional family formation. The
outcome is unsurprisingly the marginalisation of women in publicly
funded healthcare, but with a clear further impact on gender and
sex minorities. COVID-19 has disrupted these dynamics further,
altering the manner in which previously inhibited patients engage
with the NHS. As the pandemic recedes it has become more timely
than ever to consider the future of gendered healthcare in the UK,
and to question the likelihood of long term change in the ability
of patients to inform health policy decisions. The book will appeal
to scholars and students of gender and health policy, law and
politics, as well as healthcare practitioners.
