Hospitals and the government are devising plans to ensure an uninterrupted supply of critical medications after the disclosure of numerous problems with sterility procedures at Ameridose LLC, a major drug supplier that suspended operations after the national meningitis outbreak.

Ameridose — a sister company of the Framingham phamacy that produced contaminated steroids blamed for hundreds of cases of meningitis and more than 30 deaths — is slated to remain closed until Monday, but its reopening date is now in question. A spokesman for the state Department of Public Health said in an e-mail the date is “under review.”
