NI’s chief pharma officer says some companies have given notice that they will be discontinuing supply of some products to NI when the grace period ends in December. Companies are legally required to give six months notice of discontinuation.
She didn’t say precisely what has been notified but says it’s ‘a relatively small number’. She welcomes the EU proposal on medicines supply made yesterday but can’t comment further until she gets the detail.
(It may be that whatever comes to pass in that EU proposal means those discontinuations ultimately don’t happen.)
She says they will work through each notification on a case-by-case basis in the coming weeks to assess the impacts. May be that there are ready alternatives already on the market.
