Medicines could be delayed at the UK/EU border for six months under a 'no-deal' Brexit, warns DHSC

In England, the government has warned the health and social care sector that medicines could be delayed at the UK border for a period of up to six months in the event of a ‘no-deal’ Brexit. Mike Thompson, chief executive of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, said the new planning assumption “is stark” and warned that further stockpiling of medicines “is not the solution to this problem”.
