Health leaders have warned Britons are facing some of the “most severe” shortages of NHS medicines on record, including common painkillers, epilepsy drugs and HRT.

The National Pharmacy Association (NPA) has warned that medicine shortages pose a “serious risk to patient safety”.

While the Middle East conflict has made supply chains more volatile, it is not the only factor driving shortages, the NPA said.

Lack of ingredients, manufacturing disruption, the UK’s smaller medicines budget compared with other EU countries, and, in the case of HRT, changing prescribing habits have all played a part.
