The Department shares regular updates about supply issues affecting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and contraceptive products directly with the National Health Service and communicates with other networks including the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists. These communications include information about mitigation actions and management plans to ensure affected patients can be managed appropriately.

All information included within these communication documents are written for healthcare professionals. The Department does not share this information publicly.
