Response

I refer to your freedom of information request that we received on 25 October 2022. I can advise you that we have now completed the search of our records and can provide you with the following information:

Please see attached Appendix 1 - IVIgG issued to Scottish hosptals, for the breakdown by product of immunoglobulin vials distributed to NHS Scotland hospitals in each month for July, August, and September 2022. Where a product does not appear on the attachment, this is due to there having been no vials distributed to NHS Scotland hospitals for the months requested.

I trust you will find the information of assistance and if you require any further information please do not hesitate to contact us.

If you are unhappy with any aspect of how we have dealt with your request you can make representations to us asking us to review the handling of your request.
