Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Brexit Preparations Update: Discussion
Mr. Laurence O?Dwyer:
We are sourcing some adult hospital total parenteral nutrition products from the United Kingdom. We recently experienced a shortage of these products linked with manufacturing issues at the facility. The medicines shortage framework kicked in at that stage. We worked with clinicians on the ground through the hospitals network and the company involved to minimise and avoid any clinical impact on patients. This was done through using authorised total parenteral nutrition products through the normal channels and the available compounded product capacity for patients with bespoke clinical needs.
