Safety alerts are issued to protect the safety of patients, staff and others. However, the alert referred to above contains information which could lead to safety being compromised if misused. To mitigate this risk, the alert has been cascaded directly to health and social care facilities, but it has not been uploaded to the public internet. This restricted alert placeholder has been uploaded in place of the alert. If you require a copy of the safety alert, and you are a public or civil service employee, please make contact as indicated in the 'Information about IRIC' section below. We reserve the right not to share this safety alert with organisations and persons who are unable to demonstrate an appropriate requirement for the information it contains.
