General Election 2017: Getting a Brexit deal that works for the NHS
The Nuffield Trust
The Nuffield Trust May 2017 briefing covers the findings from an Ipsos MORI poll showing the public see the NHS and leaving the European Union (EU) as the two most serious issues facing Britain. It stresses that it is in the interests of British patients to remain part of a European market for medicines, so that new products are introduced in Britain early and the NHS can draw supplies from across the continent. This will require a deal which enables the UK to continue to work in close alignment with the European medicines regulator. Following a briefing from the HDA, the report mentions the Association in relation to the depth of supplies available to the NHS and the benefits of the ‘parallel trade’ system for medicines. The full report can be read here.
