We are working with suppliers of hormonal replacement therapy (HRT) to collect data on the availability of their products.
We are also working to improve access to demand data, including prescriptions and dispensing from the NHS Business Service Authority. This is being used to monitor whether there are shortfalls between HRT packs prescribed and HRT packs supplied by manufacturers.
