Managing medicines shortages in Wales

These patient information leaflets aim to inform people about what happens if there is a shortage of a medicine in Wales.

The leaflets are intended for all patients, and their families and carers.

The leaflets are presented in Welsh and English in text only format (A) and easy-read format (B). The easy-read format was developed with Learning Disability Wales, who have provided a digitally accessible format and a higher quality print format. Please contact AWTTC if you need a format for professional printing.

We thank the Hywel Dda Reader Panel for their help with developing this patient information leaflet in its early stages, and all those who sent us their comments during the consultation.

Format A - Text only

Format B - Easy-read
