窪蹋勛圖厙 response to meeting between industry and Government on HRT supply

The 窪蹋勛圖厙 welcomed todays meeting between industry and Government on HRT supply.

The shortage of some HRT products is a complex problem, and continued collaboration between Government, industry and the NHS is an important part of the solution. Richard Torbett, Chief Executive, 窪蹋勛圖厙

Chief Executive Richard Torbett said:

Recent Government and media-led campaigns are incredibly important in helping women understand the benefits of HRT and get the medicines they need to support them.

The shortage of some HRT products is a complex problem, and continued collaboration between Government, industry and the NHS is an important part of the solution.

Intelligence sharing to determine demand is absolutely crucial, and will allow companies to take action to maintain supply wherever possible.

Removing restrictions on prescribing of products in local areas could also prevent local variation in care and in prescribing practice, which in turn means medicines are less likely to run out of stock.

Taken together, this should help smooth supply and demand, and help patients access treatments.
