Medicines Supply Issues

Medicines Supply Issues

The Specialist Pharmacy Service have developed an online *Medicines Supply Tool to help you keep on top of and take appropriate action in this area. *In order to use this tool, you will need to register with SPS here

The tool has been developed and will be maintained by both the Medicines Supply Team at the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and the Commercial Medicines Unit (CMU) in NHSEI.

It provides the latest information on supply issues, actions to take, alternatives to use, and expected resolution dates.
