The President of the Irish Pharmacy Union has said there is a current shortage of approximately 300 medicines in Ireland .
He said some pharmacists can spend up to 9 hours per week trying to resolve supply issues, leading to frustration among members who are chasing"medicine shortages instead of spending that time caring for patients". The union also revealed that every pharmacy in Ireland has been challenged by medicine shortages in the past four months.
He said that patients are suffering from the delays in getting important treatment as pharmacists try to source the medicine they need.
