Pharmacists warn of a 'surge' in shortage of common medicines Pharmacists say they are struggling to obtain many common medicines and paying "vastly increased" prices for them.
This is leaving patients complaining of delays in getting hold of drugs such as painkillers, anti-depressants and blood pressure medication.
The BBC has found there has been a big rise in the number of drugs on the "shortage of supply" list for England.
There are 80 medicines in such short supply that the Department of Health has agreed to pay a premium for them.
This is up from 45 in October. BBC News
