On the Chronic Disease Assistance Programme (CDAP), Deyalsingh said, "I meet with the principal pharmacist on a regular basis. What we have found is that individual pharmacies may not be ordering their CDAP drugs on time.
"It is not that there are no CDAP drugs or a shortage. We have to work with the pharmacies for them to order their drugs on time so patients can access it."

What the heck?
This is a categorical lie, we haven't been getting several drugs in the quantities we require for many months now.
Example: "Amitriptyline 25mg" was not supplied between the period July 2021 and March 2022 despite being ordered every month! We just got stock for the first time a week ago. It reached the stage where it is not even available to purchase as it all sold out since the government had no supply and everyone was buying.
If there is a short supply situation is it such a big deal to say that there are disruptions and you will fix it?
