Brexit exacerbates UK drug shortages, per Nuffield Trust report, calling for a review of the medicine supply chain.
Brexit has "exacerbated" UK drug shortages with the medicine supply chain described as "broken", according to a report by the Nuffield Trust think tank.

The government has been urged to carry out a review into the UK's medicine supply chain, after thousands of alerts over shortages were issued last year.
