Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether he plans to launch a public health information campaign for menopause.

We know that more needs to be done to support women experiencing the menopause. The Government is committed to prioritising women’s health as we reform the National Health Service and women’s equality will be at the heart of our missions.

It is important that all women experiencing the menopause have access to information and options to enable them to choose the best care to suit them.

NHS England has created a menopause self-care factsheet to help women understand and manage symptoms and know how to seek help. There is also a women’s health area on the NHS website which contains over 100 health topics, and provides information for women on a range of health issues including periods, gynaecological conditions, menopause, and hormone replacement therapy medicines.

In recent months the NHS has also used its Instagram channel to provide users with information on a range of reproductive health issues, including menopause.
