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 availability of furosemide; and what steps he is taking to help ensure that supply is secured.

We are currently unaware of any issues affecting the supply of furosemide to patients who require it. The Department has well-established procedures to deal with medicine supply issues and works with a range of stakeholders to ensure that the risks to patients are minimised should they arise.
