https://www.sps.nhs.uk/category/shortages-discontinuations-and-expiries/  Pages such as these are easy to find (this one mentions the Epipen shortage of 2018).

Some of it is down to patent expiry NOT Brexit stockpiling, but it's far, far too easy for staunch 'remainers' to cast blame in that direction.

I know of one manufacturers of a certain 'often used' drug that has switched supplier for a particular ingredient & must go through the whole licensing process again, hence it will be unavailable for several months. Brexit, no, not at all.

Germany is one of the biggest manufacturers of drugs in the world, I can assure you they DO NOT only supply to EU member states, they transport worldwide & post Brexit the UK will be one of their worldwide customers, there was life before the channel tunnel you know!

Don't be a victim (of scaremongering), be a survivor. Check back over drug shortage sites for a few years, this is not peculiar to a Brexit vote

No no no! Remainers are NOT attributing ALL drug shortages to Brexit. However, by March 29th, it is highly likely that there will be severe shortages due to customs delays/ lorries unable to proceed with deliveries. I am genuinely concerned about it.  It is not scaremongering.

If you read this article you will see, not only how a no-deal Brexit will affect my county, but also how it will affect imports including drugs.

According to the ES the whole exercise was a farce due to a lack of drivers and lorries.

There is a good article in the Guardian, Saturday.  Have read it twice and still don't understand much of it
