BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Why high street pharmacies are still running short of vital drugs

Chemists short of drugs, rear-facing car seats for children and how shops manipulate us.

Why pharmacists are running short of vital drugs. Why rear-facing car seats could be the next big thing for young children. And how to resist being 'brandwashed'.

We look at why high street pharmacists are still running short of vital drugs, a year after the government admitted the system wasn't working.

Also, could rear-facing car seats be the next big thing for nine-month to four-year-olds? Some say they're safer than the traditional forward facing seats. 

And have you been "brandwashed"? We'll be finding out the secret tricks that big brands and shops use to manipulate us into buying what they want - and how to resist them.

Presented by Winifred Robinson
Produced by Paul Waters.
