Quetiapine: Shortages
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department is taking to tackle shortages of Quetiapine.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The Department was aware of shortages affecting quetiapine 150 milligrams, 200 milligrams and 300 milligrams. The Department worked closely with industry and others and issued communications to the National Health Service to help ensure patients continued to have access to an alternative treatment until their usual product was back in stock. These shortages have now been resolved and the Serious Shortage Protocols that were in place have now been stood down.
