Early Informs
In response to customer feedback, when possible we provide ‘Early Informs’, to help ensure we are giving you information about potential supply disruption as soon as we can.
There are three status options for ‘Early Informs’ as follows:
- In Progress – when we don’t have enough information yet to publish an Important Customer Notice (ICN).
- Moved to ICN – an ‘Early Inform’ that has now progressed to a full ICN about the supply issue.
- Resolved – an issue that we informed you about on this page, but was resolved quickly so it did not require an ICN.
Customers are advised to regularly visit our ICN pages for the latest published ICN updates.
In Progress
In all of these cases:
- We are working to collate all available information and assess any impact to NHS Supply Chain customers.
- Customers are reminded to order based on requirements, to support the entirety of the NHS having continuity of supply.
- If you have any immediate issues then please contact your Customer Services Advisor.
There are currently no Early Informs with this status.
Moved to ICN
‘Early Informs’ in this section have now progressed to an ICN and can now be found in our ICNs section.
