Most medicines don’t suffer shortages, claims government

13 June 2016, Chemist and Druggist, Annabelle Collins

 

In response to Kevin Barron calling for a meeting with Alistair Burt to discuss stock shortages, the Department of Health (DH) has stressed that the “vast majority” of prescriptions are not subject to supply problems. A DH spokesperson added that it was working closely with members of the supply chain to mitigate the impact of shortages on patient care. It stated it would “respond fully to [the letter] in due course.”

From Factory to Pharmacy

As part of our mission to build awareness, understanding and appreciation of the vital importance of the healthcare distribution sector, we developed an infographic explaining the availability of medicines. It identifies the factors that can impact drug supply, as well as the measures that HDA members undertake day in, day out to help mitigate the risks of patients not receiving their medicines.
