Hi All

Do you think this answer is adequate?????

B

Ann Keen (Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Health Services), Department of Health;

Brentford & Isleworth, Labour) | Hansard source

The Department has not developed a policy for the treatment of people with

hypothyroidism. The Clinical Knowledge Summaries website

http://cks.library.nhs.uk/search? & page=1 & q= hypothyroidism & site=0

offers advice on the diagnosis and management of a range of conditions and

symptoms, including hypothyroidism, that are commonly seen in primary care. The

guidance is advisory and has been developed to assist health care professionals,

together with patients, make decisions about the management of the patient's

health.

Hypothyroidism describes the general effects of a severely under active thyroid

gland, where not enough hormones are produced to keep the body functioning

properly.
