Tell us: have you been affected by medicine shortages in Britain?

Medicine shortages are a “new normal” in Britain and are being exacerbated by Brexit, according to a report from health think tank Nuffield Trust.

The number of warnings pharmaceutical companies have issued about impending supply problems for certain products has more than doubled from 648 in 2020 to 1,634 last year.

We would like to hear from people affected by a shortage of medicines. Have they affected your health? Do you have any concerns?
