Rejected petition Intervene in the ongoing problems with medicine shortages in Community Pharmacy

Over the past year, there has been a rise in the number of medicines that community pharmacies in the UK are unable to source. When available, pharmacies have had to buy medicines at up to 300% more than they will get paid by the NHS. This shortage is putting patients at risk and can be avoided.
