Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the Sexual and Reproductive Strategy will help ensure that girls are supported with their menstrual wellbeing from a young age.

Whilst menstrual wellbeing will not be covered in the Sexual and Reproductive Health strategy, it is being considered as part of ongoing work on the Women’s Health Strategy. A call for evidence was launched to inform the priorities, content and actions of the Strategy, which included questions on menstrual health. We are analysing the evidence gathered and we aim to publish the Strategy later this year.
