FOI 2023 54 – Opioidau Rhagnodedig
Cyfeirnod Rhyddid Gwybodaeth: FOI 2023 54
Dyddiad derbyn y cais: 18/04/2023
Dyddiad y disgwylir anfon yr wybodaeth: 18/05/2023
Gwybodaeth y gofynnwyd amdani:
Cyflwynwyd y cais rhyddid gwybodaeth hwn drwy gyfrwng y Saesneg, felly yn Saesneg yn unig mae Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru wedi ymateb.
I have quite a specific request about the number of opioids prescribed in Wales throughout the year 2022. I wonder if you’d be able to help or know how I could access the information.
I’m looking specifically for the below list of opioids. If possible I’d like to know how many of the List 1 of opioids were prescribed in 2022 (combined.) Then how many of the List 2 were prescribed in 2022 (combined). And then I’d be looking to see how many of the List 3 – other list of opioids were prescribed between 2018 – 2022.
Any help on the matter would be much appreciated
