Information provided for the answer:

Thank you for your recent request. 

 

Public Health Wales do not directly prescribe any immunoglobulin as part of our clinical service and so do not hold this information. 

 

Public Health Wales is the public health service for Wales and as such is an independent NHS Trust. Therefore, do not have access to this information. As an organisation we have no jurisdiction over the activities of Health Boards and other NHS Wales organisations. This means we do not routinely have access to the data they produce.  I have provided contact details for the Health Boards  below, you would need to contact them individually for any information they may hold.
