Answer
We are not aware of any supply issues with nuclear medications or medical radioisotopes in the United Kingdom.
The Department’s medicine supply team works closely with the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency, the pharmaceutical industry, NHS England and others to help prevent shortages and to ensure that the risks to patients are minimised when supply issues do arise.
