April 2024: UK medicine shortages

Every change to the UK medicines supply that entered the public record in April 2024 — 12 events across 2 categories, each linked to its source. A citable record of April 2024. 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.
