Dear [Name redacted]

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION

Thank you for your request dated 20 May 2019 under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) for information relating to infliximab pack sales. You asked for:

Share your latest volume demand information with us. We are ideally wanting pack sales by month over the past 3-5 years in order to understand volume trends.

Please find the information requested below. The information provided is based on DHB hospital purchase reporting and covers the period July 2015 to December 2018. The units provided includes compounded units (ie 1 mg for ECP), converted to 100 mg vials, so the actual usage may vary by a few units because of wastage.

We trust that this information answers your queries. We are making our information more freely available, so we will now publish selected OIA responses (excluding personal details) on our website. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions about this.

Yours sincerely
