The menopause is a core competency of all qualified general practitioners, as there is a specific section in the curricula on women's health, including the menopause.</p><p>However, some women may need to see a specialist.  It is not within the remit of central government to commission specialist health services. Integrated care boards are responsible for commissioning services that meet the health needs of their local population.</p><p>Our £25 million investment over the next two years to accelerate the development of women’s health hubs will improve access and quality of care for services including menopause care.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 23/10/2023 11:59:08 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
