Context
The adequacy of resources for women's services is being assessed. The question pertains to the current status of these services and calls for engagement with women's groups.
What recent assessment has been made of the adequacy of resources for women's services in Northern Ireland?
I thank the hon. Lady for her question. The Government recognise the importance of support services for women. I will continue to engage with women's groups and organisations supporting women and girls across Northern Ireland. It is vital that the Executive is restored as soon as possible to deliver on the issues that matter most to the people of Northern Ireland, including vital support services such as those championed through her all-party parliamentary group.

Will he agree to meet representatives of the Menopause Support Group Northern Ireland, hear their concerns and support their campaign for improved menopause services?
As the House has demonstrated, that is a very popular question, so I can do nothing other than say yes, I will happily meet the hon. Lady.
