05 Feb 2024 to 11 Feb 2024: UK medicine supply changes
4 items dated 05 Feb 2024 to 11 Feb 2024, each a re-expressed fact linked to its source document. This week is over. Changes are filed by the date the source gives them, so this week can still gain one if a source is captured late. Protocol end dates and expected-back windows are shown as the NHSBSA register and the notices stood when last checked, not as they stood during this week: a later extension or update can move one of them to another week or remove it. Corrections are logged on the corrections page.
Sources are checked twice daily by scheduled jobs (not live). Last checked 2026-10-20 20:54 UTC. England first; Scotland in its own section, never summed. Absence from this page is not availability. Also as Atom and JSON.

Expected-back windows ending this week · 1
Notices whose current stated expected-back window ends this week. The end is derived from the phrase: the stated day where the source gave one; six days after a stated week-commencing day; otherwise the 10th for "early", the 20th for "mid" and the last day of the month for "late" or a bare month (six days after it for a "week commencing" phrase with no readable day). The sources mostly give phrases like "late July", not days, so each item says which rule applied.
| Date | Record | What the record says |
|---|---|---|
| 10 Feb 2024 | MSN/2023/108 — Medicine Supply Notification: Fluticasone 400microgram/unit dose nasal dropssource document ↗ | Expected back "early February 2024", as currently stated by the source. That stated window ends by 10 Feb 2024 (the 10th of the stated month, the end this record uses for "early"; the source gives no day). Reaching it is an observation about the record, not about stock at your wholesaler. |
