Lack of locum availability also an issue
Manx pharmacies are continuing to feel the pressure of high demand with qualified staff still in short supply locally.
The Isle of Man Pharmacy Contractors Association says there's also still a lack of locums available to help ease the burden.
Chair Edwin Kinrade is Chair of the Association and a full-time pharmacist at Kinrade's Pharmacy in Douglas.
He says a 'crisis' in the UK isn't helping the problem:
