To what degree has the Department made alternative arrangements for sensitive and urgently required supplies? The quantities involved my be small but such supplies are important nonetheless. I refer to products coming from a number of sources, including through the UK.

Is it possible to alter the source of supply in all cases, particularly where a serious health risk might arise? In other words, is it possible to fly the product here very quickly, or within an hour or two, from another location?
