The medicine supply chain is complex, global, and highly regulated, and supply issues can be caused by a range of factors.

These are commonly cited as the drivers of recent supply issues, which have affected many countries, not just the UK.</p><p>The number of supply issue notifications received by the Department has remained relatively stable through 2022 and 2023. This followed an initial increase in 2021 following the introduction of a new reporting portal for manufacturers, in October 2020, which is used to notify the Department of potential issues, shortages, and discontinuations.</p><p>Whilst we can’t always prevent supply issues, we have a range of well-established tools and processes to mitigate risks to patients.
