Ladies...even non menopausal - we need to make some noise!! HRT crisis that has left millions without drugs is a national disgrace | Daily Mail Online

MARIELLA FROSTRUP: HRT crisis is a national disgrace

MARIELLA FROSTRUP: Women are going to extremes to obtain their HRT. Some are signing disclaimers saying that they would die without it or are travelling abroad to get products over the counter.

Isn’t forgiveness and justice supposedly at the heart of our society or is that just spin? Ms Begum told the BBC: "I was hoping Britain would understand I made a mistake, a very big mistake, because I was young and naive."

Good news that women are being offered HRT in increasing numbers but clearly more deprived communities are not receiving equal care. Menopause affects 100% of women and support should be dependent on needs not visibility. We need to level up!

As HRT prescriptions soar, Mariella Frostrup becomes menopause tsar

Gov want to survey women’s health through our reproduction lifespan and the impact doesn’t end when we stop popping babies. Neither does our knowledge decline once our ovaries go into retirement-it is fundamentally wrong and counter intuitive to age cap women’s health experience

@mariellaf1 Only a thought, but maybe they are wanting to survey those women in the reproductive years and since menopause generally means lack of reproduction they capped the age.

@loosewomen @mariellaf1 Interesting to hear you say that they stop screening after 64.Age 65 is the age NHS classes people as geriatric. Which is a bit ridiculous considering retirement age will soon be higher than 65.

Dear Em , your fan, but for many women it’s not that simple , whether it’s bone density, painful sex, insomnia , anxiety, links between menopause and dementia. Surely we welcome a medical advance that improves the quality of women’s lives should they choose it? #Menopause
