September 2026: UK medicine shortages

Every change to the UK medicines supply that entered the public record in September 2026 — 6 events across 2 categories, each linked to its source. A citable record of September 2026. 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.
