National shortage of ADHD medications

We have been made aware of a national shortage of ADHD medications. Please can patients requesting these medications take note of the current supply issues, and kindly contact their local pharmacies to see what they have available when it is time to submit their repeat prescription. NB this may involve calling pharmacies in nearby towns. When you locate the medication, or a suitable alternative, please ask for it to be reserved for you, then contact the surgery and request this specific medication so that we can prescribe it for you.

This is likely to continue for some time.

Thank you for your cooperation.
