Will the government implement a menopause policy?

That's the question on the lips of Garff MHK Daphne Caine.

She'll ask Cabinet Office Minister Kate Lord-Brennan in the House of Keys next week.

Mrs Caine also wants to know what support is available for public sector staff experiencing menopause symptoms.

It comes following Braddan Commissioners being the first local authority on the Isle of Man to introduce meonpause measures to support employees.

Next week's sitting gets underway on Tuesday morning from 10.30am.
