Health Minister comments on worldwide medicine shortage
The Health Minister has refuted suggestions a move to protect drug supplies is down to Brexit.
David Ashford says it's due to a worldwide shortage of some medicines.
If the protocol is approved by Tynwald, a pharmacist will be able to give a prescribed item in a different form than that on the prescription from the start of December.
Mr Ashford says the Island has a cast-iron guarantee from the UK that it will be treated like all other regions:
Evidence sought for Area Plan inquiry
Traffic lights in operation by Palatine Health Centre
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
