This information is not held centrally.

The Department is aware of supply issues that have affected some hormone replacement therapy (HRT) preparations for various reasons. While a very limited number of HRT products are currently affected, most, including alternatives to those experiencing supply issues are available. We continue to work closely with all suppliers to resolve these issues as quickly as possible and maintain overall supply to patients across the United Kingdom. We have shared regular updates about these issues and management advice to the National Health Service and the Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynaecologists.
