Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps he is taking to help ensure a stable supply of contrast media agents used in medical imaging; and if he will make a statement.

While the Department is aware of supply issues affecting a number of contrast media agents, we expect this to be fully resolved by the end of 2022. We have regular discussions with the suppliers and continue to provide supply updates to the National Health Service.
