The question
To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of the impact of menopause and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on neurodivergent women, and what arrangements are in place within NHS Lothian to support neurodivergent women experiencing menopause.
The answer
The Scottish Government is committed to ensuring that women know what to expect from perimenopause and menopause, what the symptoms are, and what can help manage those symptoms. Menopause continues to be a focus in Phase Two of our Women’s Health Plan.We expect NHS services to seek to meet the individual needs of patients, including those with neurodevelopmental conditions.NHS Lothian provides a range of online resources to support neurodivergent individuals, including women and girls, which can be found here: https://services.nhslothian.scot/neurodiversity/supports-and-resources/
