answer text <p>The study abstract has been reviewed by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), as part of its continuous post approval safety monitoring procedures for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine (Comirnaty). The abstract is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://catalogues.ema.europa.eu/system/files/2024-06/C4591021%20Interim%205%20Study%20Report%20Abstract%20_0.pdf" target="_blank">https://catalogues.ema.europa.eu/system/files/2024-06/C4591021%20Interim%205%20Study%20Report%20Abstract%20_0.pdf</a></p><p>The MHRA does not consider that any regulatory action is warranted at this time and will review the final study report, when it’s made available by Pfizer, as part of safety monitoring procedures.</p><p>The MHRA does not publish study reports for company studies, and further publications of results are the responsibility of Pfizer-BioNTech. The MHRA continues to closely monitor the safety of all COVID-19 vaccines and will take any regulatory action necessary should any new safety concerns be identified.</p>

answer text <p>No specific assessment has been made. The Government sympathises with the difficulties women experiencing menopausal symptoms face, and we are committed to prioritising women’s health as we reform the National Health Service.</p><p>The NHS website provides information and advice for women on menopause symptoms, healthcare support, including treatment options, and advice on lifestyles changes, including diet and exercise. NHS England has also developed a self-care fact sheet. This fact sheet is available at the following link:</p><p><a href="https://www.selfcareforum.org/menopause/" target="_blank">https://www.selfcareforum.org/menopause/</a></p><p>Women should not have to suffer in silence and anyone needing advice on managing symptoms should seek advice from their general practitioner or other healthcare professional. In addition, the Department has invested £25 million over 2023/24 and 2024/25 to support the establishment of at least one pilot women’s health hub in every integrated care system. Menopause care is a core service for the pilot women’s health hubs.</p>

We will get the National Health Service diagnosing cancer on time, diagnosing it earlier, and treating it faster, so that more patients survive this horrible set of diseases, and we will improve patients’ experience across the system. As part of this, we are committed to bringing down waits for cancer appointments with a Fit for the Future fund, providing investment for the number of computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and other tests that are needed to reduce elective and cancer waiting times, thereby saving lives.</p><p>The Government will continue to support the provision of radiotherapy machines, however, since April 2022 the responsibility for investing in new radiotherapy machines has been with local systems.</p> more like this
