Answer
We are currently working with experts, including general practitioners, to co-design the menopause content for the NHS Health Check.
The inclusion of menopause in the NHS Health Check will support eligible women across England to access high quality information on the menopause, including advice on managing symptoms and where to seek support.
We will ask local authorities to implement this addition in the NHS Health Checks later this year and will urge them to implement it as quickly as possible.
