March 2020: UK medicine shortages

Every change to the UK medicines supply that entered the public record in March 2020 — 1 event across 1 category, each linked to its source. A citable record of March 2020. A record made after the month ended can still add an entry dated in it; an entry that came from a later NHSBSA register check is marked with the date of that check.
