Anaesthetics
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps she has taken to work with relevant authorities to ensure that there is adequate supply of lidocaine.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The Department is aware of the supply issues affecting some products that contain lidocaine. For all of these, there are alternatives available, and we are working with the suppliers of each product to expedite resupply and minimise the impact on patients.
