Health chiefs have warned of antibiotic shortages across Scotland because of soaring Strep A infections nationwide.
As the death toll in the UK from Strep A reached 16 yesterday, GPs were warned them to expect drug shortages to last for the rest of the year.
Health Secretary Humza Yousaf insisted yesterday that there were no supply issues for antibiotics. But Labour claimed that a message sent to GPs showed there was an “alarming” lack of drugs available to treat Strep A infections.
