systemic inequalities that women often face in accessing the health services they need

I really want to hear more about those.

I'm a supporter of the SNP in general, but I would have liked to see a plan to address the health concerns of men as well, like male mental health support being abysmal because services treating depression and anxiety are aimed at female presentations and treatments, which discourages men from getting or sticking with help.

We need programmes that help men with mental health in a more accessible way, such as outdoor activities and also a recognition that some men are unlikely to seek help if a service doesn't seem aimed at them. Suicide rates in men are sky high compared to the women's rate. We need to recognise and address that.

They're trying to appeal too much in a way that split the voter base in England and gabe rise to the shitpile that is the tories. I wish they had a more balanced approach.
