Just because there are no answers yet, it does not mean the questions have not been raised - rather that there are cogs out there that are very slow to engage. So raise the question at the highest level wherever you are if you are concerned and/or affected. You are not going to get answers from the person manning the phones. It is best however not to overstate the case, if we want to be taken seriously. It is difficult enough to be heard anyway.

The questions are:
Where are the actual shortages occurring.
What reassurances are there that this will not happen again.
What measures are being put in place for vulnerable patients whose response to other medications is poor, or who find change of medication results in worsening health, or adverse effects.
Why has the shortage been allowed to occur.
Why is there no apparent communication between govt, orgs and pharmas to prevent such shortages.
What exactly has caused the shortage.
Is the shortage genuine.
Why haven't patients been advised of shortages.
