We have provided advice for healthcare professionals on how to manage patients requiring this medicine whilst there are shortages and are keeping this under review as the situation evolves. If any patient is concerned about their treatment, they should discuss this with their clinician at the earliest opportunity.</p> answering member constituency Colchester answering member printed Will Quince question first answered 06/09/2023 13:28:58 answering member 4423 label Biography information for Will Quince
