England is currently facing a critical shortage of drugs, which is putting patients at risk of harm and even death.
This shortage has led to pharmacists being unable to fully dispense prescriptions, resulting in the issuance of "Owings."
As a result, patients are experiencing frustration, anxiety, and potential health impacts, which may even lead to emergency visits. The underlying causes of these shortages include global supply issues, low medicine prices in the UK, and disruptions related to Brexit.
Unfortunately, this situation has also led to an alarming increase in aggression towards pharmacy staff, with 84% of them experiencing hostility from patients.
To address this issue, the report highlights the urgent need for collaboration among drug manufacturers, wholesalers, suppliers, ministers, and the NHS to stabilize the supply of medicines.
