(asked on 7th June 2023) - View Source
Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment he has made of the adequacy of the supply of (a) nuclear medications and (b) medical radioisotopes from EU member states.
This question was answered on 14th June 2023
We are not aware of any supply issues with nuclear medications or medical radioisotopes in the United Kingdom.
The Department’s medicine supply team works closely with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, the pharmaceutical industry, NHS England and others to help prevent shortages and to ensure that the risks to patients are minimised when supply issues do arise.
