I thank all hon. Members who took part in the debate. I also thank my hon. Friend Carolyn Harris, who regrettably cannot be here. I hope that I have been able to do justice to the points she raised with me.

I thank Eddie Hughes for relating his personal experiences and reinforcing the need to provide the support that women so rightly deserve. I also thank my hon. Friend Judith Cummins, who has done sterling work in relation to the Better Bones campaign and the inextricable links between osteoporosis and menopause.

My hon. Friend Gerald Jones is, as ever, working in his Constituency. He referred to his menopause workshop. I am really interested in the word bingo. I am intrigued about that and will speak to him about it in due course. Wera Hobhouse referred among other things to the review of the prescription regime, which is really needed. As ever, the interventions by Jim Shannon were spot-on, clear and precise. I am pleased to have his party’s support on this matter. My hon. Friend Nick Smith, who intervened a couple of times—once on me—was focused on the key element of clinical awareness.

I thank the Shadow Minister, my hon. Friend Abena Oppong-Asare, for her response, particularly in relation to Labour’s workplace charter. I am pleased about the reaffirmation of that. I also thank the Minister for referring to the four-point plan for the workplace that is in progress, to the QOF review and to training in menopause.

We have covered a wide-ranging area. The seven recommendations or asks in the manifesto are out there for all to see. No doubt, we will return to this matter time and again. I hope that in the next 12 to 18 months we can make even more progress than we have in the past couple of years.

Question put and agreed to.

Resolved,

That this House
has considered the matter of the menopause.
