The Guardian – NHS drug shortage poses threat to patients’ lives, say pharmacist 

The Guardian leads with a warning from pharmacists that a shortage of medicines in the NHS is endangering lives. The paper has seen figures showing that the number of products affected has doubled in two years. They include treatments for epileptic seizures, schizophrenia, and some cancers. 

The paper cites the lower purchasing power of the pound, after the Brexit referendum, as a possible cause.
