The National Institute for Health and Care  Excellence are going to produce guidelines as to the treatment and handling of the menopause.

Some drafts were produced earlier this year. Somebody (Hurdity I think) posted some links to them.

Of particular interest to many of us are the guidelines as to how long HRT can be used for. Another thing, is the age from which the menopause could be considered as a possibility.
