Details

This guidance is for medicines marketing authorisation holders (MAHs). It gives them an overview of how to report medicines shortages to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) under the January 2019 regulations.

MAHs should report supply issues, including potential shortages and discontinuations, to DHSC via the discontinuations and shortages (DaSH) portal.

The document DHSC reporting requirements for medicine shortages and discontinuations replaces the best practice guidelines that were published in 2007.

The DaSH portal MAH administrator and user manuals have been updated to include instructions on how to use the new archive function and how to view the new notifications function within the DaSH system.

Setting up administrators on the DaSH portal

  1. Complete the MAH and administrator set-up form with details of MAH-nominated DaSH portal users
  2. Email your completed form to DASH@dhsc.gov.uk

If you cannot access the DaSH portal, contact the Medicine Supply Team at DASH@dhsc.gov.uk.
