'Troubling milestone' as over 300 medicines now in short supply 

'Things look set to get worse before they get better,' says Azure Pharmaceuticals chief executive Sandra Gannon.

Over 300 medicines are currently in short supply in Ireland, with experts describing it as a “troubling milestone”.

It is the ninth consecutive month of rising shortages, with the increase of out-of-stock medicines now 81% higher than this time last year.
