When is the medication for blood pressure going to be available? There has been no Amblopidine available for weeks. My pharmacist has no idea when my prescription can be filled; at least another three weeks, she tells me.

The tablets are to lower blood pressure and prevent strokes and heart attacks. To have them withdrawn is critical to the health of patients, particularly the elderly. No other EU country appears to have this problem.

Should it be a case concerning finance, bad practice, importers, or any other reason it should be addressed as soon as possible. It could cause an increase in patients at Mater Dei Hospital.

A few months ago it was Diovan that was unavailable. The annoying thing is these drugs are in the pharmacy on sale. I paid for them as they are essential but cannot do so in the long term from my pension. Pensioners like myself live on small incomes.

To me it is disgraceful that members of the government are spending millions on office furniture and fancy designer armchairs, boasting how they have good bargains, when the population they are supposed to represent, help and protect are without live-saving medication.

Politicians have an attitude of self-importance and the little people are really not important to them.
