Well that's a surprise. ;-)

twitter posts from James OBrien and someone claiming about 1 in 4 hospitals having foodbanks for nurses are just laughable. New name, same old- cut and paste forwarding tweets as if there news

James O’Brian, journalist, anti-Brexit campaigner, was part of the People’s Vote campaign for a second referendum and has spoken at a couple of rallies in support of that. Okey dokey. No agenda then.

Nurses have been to my home today and they assured us no problems getting antibiotics.

Come on all you Brexit apologists, rally round.

Anyone in denial needs to catch up on the news. The story is 17 hours old but if you can’t do research try this.

snackrite seems to have jumped in without thinking. Probably under instructions... just passing on the message from a controller.

from the article "LONDON, Dec 15 (Reuters) - The British government on Thursday announced it was enacting protocols to ease shortages of penicillin medicines used to treat Strep A infections, allowing pharmacists to prescribe alternatives where stocks are low.

"The increased demand for the antibiotics prescribed to treat Strep A has meant some pharmacists have been unable to supply the medicine shown on the prescription," health department minister Will Quince said in a statement."

Good news. Surely even Labour supporters like us should accept its the right thing to do. Why shoehorn Brexit into it

You need to direct your questions to these people.

Ask them why they mentioned Brexit in their report and let us know what they said. Cheers.

Europe Is Hit by Shortages of Antibiotics


READ ALL ABOUT IT!

Nothing to see there snackrite. Clutching at straws still I see

the full report is here, for those who actually want to know what is in it

It looks as if the tweet linked to summarises it accurately. Recruitment from abroad is making up for shortages of staff from the EU, but it's taking them from poorer countries that need them. Some areas (cardiothoracic, anaesthetic) are not making up their shortfalls. Medicine imports have been declining, unlike other G7 coutnreis.

Do some on this site ignore links and evidence and just go for the man, not the ball?
