The Menopause (Support and Services) Bill would make NHS prescription hormone replacement therapy (HRT) free of charge in England. HRT is a treatment for menopausal symptoms; prescriptions are already free in the rest of the United Kingdom.
The Bill would also require the publication of a UK-wide cross-government strategy, covering issues concerning menopause support services and education.
The Bill and its accompanying explanatory notes were published on 27 October 2021. The Second Reading debate is scheduled for 29 October 2021.
