The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to ensure the proactive management of Mounjaro shortages for patients with Type 2 diabetes.

We are not currently aware of any supply issues with Mounjaro preparations. We have a range of well-established processes and tools to manage supply issues if and when they arise and to mitigate risks to patients.
