Public may have to stockpile drugs in no-deal Brexit

[AtW]

The public may have to stockpile medicines if there is a no-deal Brexit, industry leaders say.

Martin Sawer, of the Healthcare Distributors Association, told MPs industry was "very concerned" about a no-deal as it could have "catastrophic" consequences for the supply of drugs.

The government has asked firms to start stockpiling a six-week supply of drugs.

Mr Sawer said there was no need for the public to do the same "yet", but the picture could change very quickly.
The UK imports 37 million packs of medicine each month from the EU, although even more are exported out of the country.

Concern has been raised that prolonged disruption at the borders could disrupt the supply chain.

Ministers have already asked firms to start stockpiling, although that is logistically difficult for medicines that need refrigerating like insulin and vaccines, or for those with short shelf lives, which some cancer treatments have.

YOUR "condition" is not something that can be treated with Drugs, no matter how strong.

The fact that you have felt compelled to leave the South-East of England as you have run out of people prepared to give you the time of day is the underlying issue.

You will need to venture much further afield than rural Iberia to pull off any sort of improvement........good and all as you clearly are at "pulling off"!
