Episode Details

Medication shortages are hitting the UK hard, leaving patients with chronic illnesses like pancreatic cancer and cystic fibrosis scrambling for life-saving drugs like Creon, while pharmacists face mounting pressure and abuse as they struggle to find alternatives. International conflicts and a fragile supply chain are worsening the crisis, prompting calls for urgent government action — including emergency taskforces and prescription flexibility — even as officials claim most meds are still available and push for domestic manufacturing to shore up the system. This isn’t just a supply issue — it’s a systemic warning that one broken link can ripple through the entire healthcare network.
