Medication Supply Issues

We are having difficulty with obtaining several common items of medication at present. This includes but is not limited to medicines for HRT, diabetes and cholesterol. Our inability to get these things is a problem as none of our three main wholesalers are able to give consistent supply of these items due to wider shortages.

This should not reflect on the dispensary staff or their dedication as they are doing everything they can to try to secure supplies of your medication.

There may be times when other pharmacies are able to get medications that we cannot as they have larger contracts with the wholesalers and are supplied first during times of shortages.

We appreciate that this current situation is frustrating for everyone, most of all our hard-working dispensary staff but would like to remind you that we are doing our best and that all of our patients and staff deserve to be respected and spoken to politely. >

Yours, Dr Vipas and the team.
