Show Notes

Australia is in the grip of a growing medicine shortage, with pharmacists, doctors and patients all feeling the impact.

There are currently more than 400 shortages listed on the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s website, with dozens more expected and hundreds of medications being discontinued. But what’s driving the shortages, and is there a fix?

In this episode of The Briefing Helen Smith is joined by President of the Australian Medical Association Dr. Danielle McMullin to break down how we can improve the shortages, and whether Australians should brace for long-term medicine delays.
