Working closely with DHSC, NHS Supply Chain, the MHRA and colleagues from the devolved administrations, given the impact on other parts of the UK, NHS England and NHS Improvement is co-ordinating the NHS’ response in England, on a national basis. The supply position remains constrained and is forecasted to become even more constrained over the coming weeks. While it is anticipated that the position will improve from the middle of September, overall supply is likely to remain challenging for a significant period. We have previously sent information in relation to this issue and will continue to provide updates as the supply situation develops. The tubes impacted by this shortage are: 1. 5mls Yellow top – SST 2 – clotted sample (e.g. U&E, LFTs etc) 2. Purple top – EDTA (e.g. FBC, HbA1c) Alternative products are being sought to alleviate these constraints; and all labs that will be switching to these supplies have received samples for testing and validation. However, it will take time for these products to be imported and delivered in volume to services.

While most research of this sort will only require licence authority from a single regulator, some may require submission to more than one and/or referral to the national expert body1 before licence authorities can be granted. Investigators should therefore make early contact with at least one of the regulators (see below) for advice on the authorities they will require. This brief note should be read in conjunction with the report on Animals Containing Human Material (ACHM) published by the Academy of Medical Sciences in July 20112; the statutory Guidance on the Operation of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 19863 and the UK Stem Cell Tool Kit4 which provides regulatory information on human stem cell research. Structure of this guidance The guidance is in five parts. Part A provides background information on relevant legislation. Part B sets out the proposals for the classification of experiments included in the Academy of Medical Sciences report on Animals Containing Human Material published in July 2011.

As you will be aware, established systems and processes already exist for responding to serious supply disruption events for medical products (as set out in Annex A), and in all cases you should continue to use these “business as usual” channels to respond to and resolve issues where possible. To enhance this capability at a national level, these processes will be coordinated through the NSDR, set up by DHSC. NSDR systems and operations will monitor the supply situation at a national level and coordinate actions to address any supply disruption incidents should these occur. Annex A identifies what actions staff should take locally in the event of them experiencing supply disruptions to products and services. Escalation to NSDR should be made via organisational procurement leads (or equivalent). Guidelines on when to escalate to the NSDR and contact details have been shared with NHS Heads of Procurement.
