No Deal Brexit Advice On Medicine Supplies

"The Scottish Government is working with all other UK Administrations to make sure that people receive the medicines and other medical supplies they need, as far as is possible, if the UK leaves the EU without a deal. Pharmaceutical companies have stockpiled medicines and across the UK the NHS has stockpiled other supplies like medical devices and clinical consumables. Arrangements are also being made to transport into the UK, including by air, items that cannot be stockpiled. The UK Government has stated that, if there are delays at the UK Border, medical supplies will be given priority for entry into the UK. Members of the public, GPs, community pharmacies and hospitals should not stockpile. Shortages may occur, but the NHS will manage the situation and if necessary provide suitable alternatives or other treatment while supply is restored to normal levels."
