C+D has received 68 reports so far from pharmacists located in various regions of England and Scotland about pharmaceutical drug shortages that were likely to have resulted in serious harm to patients including instances of blindness.
These reports of pharmaceutical drug shortages causing patients harm have been flowing into C+D in direct consequence of C+D’s response (C+D’s stock shortages app) to the pharmacy minster Earl Howe’s call on the 8th of August, for all pharmacists to prove pharmaceutical drug shortages were harming patients.
Ace Pharmacy from Surrey, KV Hartshorne Pharmacy from Walsall and Polwarth Pharmacy from Edinburgh for instance, had reported three, four and one instance of pharmaceutical drug shortages respectively which had almost resulted in severe patient harm.
