WOMEN still feel unheard and unsupported in gynaecological cancer care more than two years after serious shortcomings were exposed, the Senedd’s health and social care committee warned yesterday.

The Welsh government accepted most of the recommendations raised in a committee report into the issue in December 2023 but just 41 per cent of patients began treatment within the 62-day target as of October 2025.

Committee chairman Peter Fox MS said: “Two years on, it is unacceptable that so little progress has been made.

“If gynaecological cancer is truly a priority, the Welsh government must demonstrate that through visible action, dedicated funding, and clear accountability.”

Tenovus Cancer Care and Claire’s Campaign said: “The Women’s Health Plan commits to women being ‘listened to,’ but gynaecological cancers are absent.

“Despite calls from Tenovus Cancer Care and the Unheard report, they weren’t included at all.

“That means no plan, no standards, and no way to measure whether women with these cancers are being heard.”
