Rejected petition Secure children's antibiotic supply in response to current UK shortages

The government need to acknowledge the current children's antibiotic and medication shortages including syrup formulations of Penicillin, Amoxicillin, Clarithmericin to name a few, and secure supplies for every pharmacy. Pharmacies have little to no supplies and struggling to order any supplies.

More details

With added pressures of Strep, Scarlet fever, Flu and Covid along with seasonal illnesses resources are stretched and we need the crisis acknowledged and an emergency plan in place to address it. Lobby to reduce prices of drugs, and create a linked up way of working between suppliers, Prescribers and Pharmacist's to ensure they have an update to the minute perspective on stock levels.
