Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of providing every woman with information on (a) pre-menopause and (b) menopause.
The menopause will be a priority area within the Women’s Health Strategy, which will consider issues related to access to healthcare, education and training for clinicians, information for women and workplace support.
The Government is also establishing a new menopause taskforce which will encourage faster action across the system, share best practice and take a holistic view of menopause support. The taskforce will feed into and support the development and implementation of the upcoming Women’s Health Strategy for England.
