Gosh, I’m a bit surprised at the personal attacks on a woman just because she has more money than some of us might. Assuming she’s just doing this for her career is really just mean. Completely unnecessary. Let’s not do this to other women, we all struggle, having money doesn’t automatically make your life trouble-free and Davina works very hard. She has done 2 programmes, this is not her main source of income. She, as has been noted, can go private so her work to raise awareness in the NHS and get better care is for all of us that don’t have her choices and options. Because of her I now get my HRT on the NHS, a massive help as I had to close my business because of this and am now unemployed. As far as workplace policies go, of course it will make a difference. Just like when policies were introduced for pregnancy and childcare. These things won’t help everyone but it’s alongside raising awareness and dispelling myths about HRT. Better treatment also means you’re less likely to need a workplace policy tor this but for those that don’t get on with HRT and suffer through it, it can at least give people clear evidence-backed reasons for your illness and that means a lot.
For those moaning about what she’s doing, what are you doing about it? I write to my MP, my GP, the NHS. I don’t have her platform but if I did I’d do the same and wouldn’t let the fact I had money get in the way of helping other women that don’t. Honestly, some people just like to pick at others efforts behind their screen while they do absolutely nothing to help.
