Middling Along

Caroline Nokes MP on why she won’t stop fighting for better menopause support


Listen Later

Join me this time as I chat to Caroline Nokes, MP. Caroline is the Member of Parliament for Romsey and Southampton North and the current Chair of the Women and Equalities Select Committee in Parliament.

 
We discuss the government's lacklustre (and late!) January response to the recommendations in the WESC's report last year, why menopause training for GPs needs to be mandated, the current HRT shortages, the failure of the UK goverment to engage with manufacturers appropriately ahead of the introduction of the Pre-Payment Certifcate on 1st April, and why we need a National Formulary for HRT.
 
We also cover the Committee's recommendations around changes to the Equality Act to provide increased protection for those going through a difficult menopause, and why Caroline believes a pilot on menopause leave would have been a useful and insightful experiment.
