HC Deb 18 May 1990 vol 172 cc560-1W
Mrs. Gorman

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what recent representations he has received regarding the effects of hormone replacement therapy in connection with osteoporosis.

Mrs. Virginia Bottomley

I refer my hon. Friend to the reply I gave her on 19 March at column460. Since then we have received representations about osteoporosis and hormone replacement therapy from the all-party parliamentary group for pensioners on behalf of the National Federation of Women's Institutes and from hon. Members on behalf of the National Osteoporosis Society. I shall also be meeting the National Osteoporosis Society shortly to discuss these matters.
