There is an HRT scandal – but it’s not the one Panorama thinks it is
The recent BBC Panorama investigation into hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has sparked controversy, but critics argue that the real scandal is being overlooked. While the documentary focused on Dr. Louise Newson's private clinic and allegations of overprescribing HRT, many believe the larger issue is the neglect of women's health by the NHS. For years, women facing menopause symptoms have been underserved, gaslit, and denied proper care. This points to a broader systemic issue where women's health, especially reproductive health, is not prioritized in the healthcare system.
