Pa gamau y mae'r Gweinidog yn eu cymryd i gynyddu argaeledd y feddyginiaeth ar bresgripsiwn Hydrocortisone 1% / Clotrimazole 1% yng Nghymru?

As I stated in my response to WQ88398, the supply of medicines is monitored, managed and regulated on a UK wide basis.

Officials at the Welsh Government work closely with NHS Wales and community pharmacies to ensure patients continue to receive the medicines they need.   

Occasionally, the NHS experiences temporary shortages of specific medicines, however we are not aware of any supply issues with hydrocortisone or with clotrimazole preparations at this time.

Anyone who is having difficulty obtaining any treatment should contact their doctor or pharmacist for further advice.
