January 2022: UK medicine shortages
Every change to the UK medicines supply that entered the public record in January 2022 — 4 events across 3 categories, each linked to its source. A citable record of January 2022. 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.
