Reporting Medicine Shortages and Pricing Issues

It’s important to report any issues you are experiencing with shortages and pricing of medicines to CPE. This data is used by CPE to negotiate price concessions or push for Stock Shortage Protocols.

To report:

If there is a new medicines shortage, the pharmacy can report it at

If there is a problem with obtaining a generic at a cost that is above the Drug Tariff price, the pharmacy can report it at
