8:24Now PlayingJames O'Brien discusses a report suggesting that Brexit is to blame for the UK's 'drug shortage' at present.
The Nuffield Trust health think tank report has highlighted that the UK is experiencing a persistent trend of drug shortages, and that that Brexit is worsening the situation.
The report reveals a significant increase in unavailable drugs, posing serious challenges for healthcare professionals, pharmacies, the NHS, and patients alike. It notes that the number of alerts issued by drug companies regarding potential supply issues for specific products has more than doubled - rising from 648 in 2020 to 1,634 the following year.
Mark Dayan, the report’s lead author and the Nuffield Trust’s Brexit programme lead, states: “The rise in shortages of vital medicines from rare to commonplace has been a shocking development that few would have expected a decade ago.”
