Madelaine McTernan was the head of the HRT Taskforce, to ease UK supply issues, for four months.

Health and Social Care Secretary Steve Barclay said women's health was a priority for government and it would ensure everyone who needed HRT could access it.

"Madelaine's work and that of her taskforce and the department has been vital and her recommendations will ensure progress in HRT supply continues," he said. Ms McTernan said: "I want to thank suppliers and manufacturers for their engagement and positive action to tackle this serious issue. "I have presented my key learnings on how the department can continue to manage HRT supply and work with the industry as it continues efforts to meet rising demand."

The Covid booster campaign will start on 5 September in England, with housebound people and those in care homes the first to be offered jabs.
