Britain's government watchdog says there's still a"significant amount" of work to do to make sure the country has an adequate supply of licensed drugs in case of a no-deal Brexit.
According to the British government's"reasonable worst-case"scenario, the flow of goods could be cut by half on Day One of a no-deal Brexit and could take a year to recover. It said time was"extremely limited" if the shipping issues were to be resolved by the end of October. Nicholl said British politicians were still refusing to honestly acknowledge the harm that would be caused to patients in Britain by a no-deal exit. He predicted there would be a spike in illness and deaths if Britain does leave Europe without a divorce deal.
"I do not believe for one minute that anyone who voted to leave in 2016 voted to harm themselves and other people, and yet that is where we're heading," he said."We need some people in Parliament with a brain who are willing to negotiate with other people." "Last time, we knew which ferry services had been commissioned on alternative routes with pharmaceutical companies encouraged to book space to ship their products," he told reporters last week."But the same approach has not been adopted this time."
