Members' Business — S6M-06225 Siobhian Brown: World Menopause Month

That the Parliament recognises that the World Health Organization and the International Menopause Society have designated October as World Menopause Month, and October 18 as World Menopause Day; understands that both events aim to raise awareness of menopause and to support options to improve health and wellbeing for women in mid-life and beyond; believes that women across Scotland, including those in Ayr, will benefit from an open conversation about menopause; notes that no two women will experience menopause in the same way and that being aware of symptoms is the first step in managing them, and recognises that Scotland is the first country in the UK to have a women’s health plan, which, it believes, outlines ambitious improvements to women’s health issues including menopause.
