Tha tòrr dhaoine airson sin a ghleidheadh, is tha buidhnean glèidhteachais leithid Dualchas Nàdair na h-Alba (SNH) is Comann Rìoghail Dìon nan Eun (RSPB) air a bhith ‘g obair gus sin a dhèanamh.

The Portuguese medicine market is in crisis. Patients have been complaining about shortages of the drugs that they need. Pharmacists have also been protesting. They warn that 600 pharmacies could close next year as a result of the government policies to reduce the price they can charge for medicines.
