Question
To ask the Scottish Government what its response is to the findings of the Nurofen report, Gender Pain Gap: Index Report: Year 2, published in November 2023, including the finding that the gender pain gap has widened since the previous report, from 7% to 11%.
Answer
The Scottish Government is committed to ensuring that anyone living with pain is able to access the best possible care and support. Through our commitment to implementing our Pain Management Service Delivery Framework we are seeking to amplify the voices of people who may face inequality on the basis of their sex. We will work collaboratively with other partners to ensure there are appropriate pathways for women with pain and painful conditions.
