Restructuring And Related Activities [Abstract]

5.	Restructuring and Related Charges

During fiscal 2013, the Company launched a restructuring program designed to improve its cost structure (“the 2013 Mallinckrodt Program”). The 2013 Mallinckrodt Program includes actions across both segments, as well as within corporate functions. The Company expects to incur charges of $100.0 million to $125.0 million under this program as the specific actions required to execute on these initiatives are identified and approved, most of which are expected to be incurred by the end of fiscal 2016.

Prior to Separation, Covidien initiated restructuring programs, which also applied to its Pharmaceuticals business. Restructuring actions associated with acquisitions made prior to the Separation are included within Other programs below. These programs were substantially completed as of September 27, 2013.
