Complaint
A viewer complained the programme was guilty of scaremongering about the risks from high levels of hormone replacement therapy. 聽The ECU considered whether it met the standards for accuracy, and in particular for the portrayal of risk, set out in the 91热爆 Editorial Guidelines.
Outcome
From the descriptions in the programme it was apparent that the risk to health from over-prescription was genuine in many cases and a matter for concern to the British Menopause Society, which is the specialist authority for menopause and post- reproductive health in the UK. 聽In such circumstances, the ECU did not believe the programme was being unduly alarming in the way it described the problem.
