NI facing medicine shortages, warns pharmaceutical body

It is understood the UK government is confident that transitional measures will avoid disruption and it is not planning to ask the EU for an extension.

The BGMA’s concerns were first reported by the Financial Times.

Mark Samuels, chief executive of the BGMA, said the industry “fully supports” the framework and the intent behind the labelling change.

However he added that the change was more complex and time consuming than anticipated.

“We are facing an absurd situation where patients in Northern Ireland will go without access to millions of packs of medicines due to a technical and artificial deadline when shortages are already at a record high. We need to serve the best interests of patients, not bureaucracy,” he said.
