英国药房每天都在与药物短缺作斗争，迫使患者寻求新的处方。 UK pharmacies struggle daily with medication shortages, forcing patients to seek new prescriptions.

英国药店每天面临药品短缺问题,因此无法至少每天一次填写处方。 UK pharmacies face daily medication shortages, leaving them unable to fill prescriptions at least once a day. 全国药剂协会(NPA)报告说,96%的药店因供应问题不能开处方,即使有安全的替代药。 The National Pharmacy Association (NPA) reports that 96% of pharmacies can't dispense prescriptions due to supply issues, even when safe alternatives are available. 《国家行动计划》要求有更大的灵活性,使药剂师能够安全地替代药物,因为病人如果得不到药物,目前必须回到医生处方,接受新处方。 The NPA calls for greater flexibility to allow pharmacists to substitute medications safely, as patients currently must return to their GP for new prescriptions if their medication is unavailable.
