伦敦大学学院专家通过信息自由申请调查发现，英格兰国家医疗服务体系（NHS）医院正面临阿司匹林、协定止痛药和雷米普利等常见药物的短缺1。在回应调查的信托中，26家报告了阿司匹林供应中断，13家缺少协定止痛药，7家无法获得足够的雷米普利1。
具体而言，在去年12月至今年3月间，62%回应调查的NHS信托经历了阿司匹林供应中断，31%的信托报告协定止痛药短缺，其中约克和斯卡伯勒NHS信托自2025年5月以来供应受阻1。16%回应调查的信托无法获得足够的雷米普利1。更令人担忧的是，92%回应的信托表示没有应对供应问题的应急计划，82%未向NHS英格兰报告所面临的短缺1。
专家认为当前情况反映出系统性问题1。NHS英格兰在风险评估表中给药物短缺评分16分（满分25分），但专家认为应该更高1。国家药学协会的调查表明，近年来短缺现象已从专科药物扩展到便宜的通用药物1。
NHS hospitals across England are experiencing significant supply disruptions affecting essential drugs including aspirin, paracetamol, and ramipril, according to findings from a freedom of information investigation. 1 Among 42 NHS trusts that responded to the inquiry, 26 reported interruptions in aspirin supplies between December of the previous year and March of the current year, representing 62 percent of respondents. 1 Thirteen trusts, or 31 percent of those surveyed, faced shortages of paracetamol, with York and Scarborough NHS Trust encountering blocked supplies since May 2025. 1 Additionally, seven trusts—16 percent of the 43 that answered—could not access sufficient quantities of ramipril. 1
The investigation reveals significant gaps in the health service's preparedness and transparency regarding supply chain vulnerabilities. 1 Ninety-two percent of responding trusts indicated they lack emergency response plans for managing supply disruptions, while 82 percent failed to report their shortages to NHS England. 1 Experts argue that the National Health Service has underestimated the risk posed by medication shortages, with current risk assessments scoring the issue at 16 points on a 25-point scale. 1 The National Pharmacy Association has documented a troubling trend whereby shortages have expanded from specialized pharmaceuticals to affordable generic medications widely used in standard care. 1
