The makers of the adrenaline injection pen, which is used to treat severe and life-threatening allergic reactions, say that the continuing supply problems are due to manufacturing issues.
The Department of Health said they were working with the manufacturers to “resolve the supply situation as quickly as possible”. They said limited supplies were being closely managed.
