The Canadian Cancer Society has developed a Drug Shortage Action Plan to address cancer medication shortages. The key recommendation is as follows:
"There must be one agency - Health Canada responsible for:
- overseeing efforts to prevent drug shortages
- providing leadership and coordinating a response when shortages occur
- providing regular, substantiated clear updates to Canadians on these ongoing efforts
