Inquiry to assess the impacts of menopause and the case for policy reform: concluding report

This report outlines how menopause symptoms can have a debilitating impact on the day-to-day lives of women. The findings of the report demonstrate that widespread action is needed across all spheres to improve the situation for those going through the menopause, and the families, friends and colleagues affected by it. It raises concerns about the socio-economic divide emerging between women who are able to access the right treatment, and those who lose out in the postcode lottery and do not have the financial means to seek treatment elsewhere. It makes 13 recommendations for government, NHS and other bodies to initiate change and dispel the long-held taboo around menopause.ReportAll-Party Parliamentary Group on Menopause - press release
