The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what recent assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the availability of Bisoprolol in each strength and formulation; and what contingency plans are in place in the event of further disruption to supply.

Answered by Preet Kaur Gill

The Department is aware that there are intermittent supply issues with bisoprolol 1.25 milligrams tablets, however, all other strengths of bisoprolol remain in stock. We continue to engage directly with suppliers of bisoprolol 1.25 milligrams tablets to monitor current stocks and incoming deliveries to ensure continuity of supply.
