answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/04/2023 answer text <p>We have accepted and are taking forward the recommendations of the HRT Supply Taskforce, which was temporarily established to explore what could be done to address hormone replacement therapy (HRT) supply issues in the short and long-term. A key recommendation was to continue the dialogue with industry and we are doing that through regular meetings with individual suppliers as well as holding quarterly roundtables with manufacturers, wholesalers and community pharmacist representatives to monitor progress and agree what more needs to be done to boost production.</p><p>Access to high-demand products has improved since actions have been taken by industry with our support, as well as the issuance of Serious Shortage Protocols (SSPs) for some HRT products facing supply issues, to limit dispensing to three months’ supply to even out distribution and allow specified alternative products to be supplied, as necessary.</p><p>21 SSPs for HRT products have been issued since April 2022. The majority of these have been withdrawn as supply issues have been resolved, and only five SSPs remain in place.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 20/04/2023 08:08:19 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/04/2023 answer text <p>Details of Ministerial meetings are published quarterly on GOV.UK.</p><p>It is the Government’s ambition, as set out in the Women’s Health Strategy, that healthcare professionals in primary care are well-informed about the menopause and able to offer women evidence-based advice and treatment options.</p><p>The General Medical Council will be introducing the Medical Licensing Assessment for the majority of incoming doctors, including all medical students graduating in academic year 2024 to 2025 and onwards. The content for this assessment will include key topics relating to women’s health, including the menopause. This will encourage a better understanding of women’s health among doctors as they start their careers in the United Kingdom.</p><p>The Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) has a holistic curriculum of training that all general practitioners (GPs) must cover before they are able to pass the examination to become a member of the RCGP and work independently as a GP. There is a specific section on women’s health, including the menopause. As a result, the menopause is already a core competency of all qualified GPs. The RCGP has also developed a women’s health toolkit to support GPs, which includes resources on the menopause.</p><p>Employers in the health system are responsible for ensuring that their staff are trained to the required standards to deliver appropriate treatment for patients.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 21/04/2023 09:04:00 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
