Government planning £25m contract to keep drug supply after Brexit

The UK government are planning a £25m contract to maintain medicines stay fully stocked after Brexit.

Chris Skidmore the health minister said, “I want to ensure that when we leave the EU at the end of October, all appropriate steps have been taken to ensure frontline services are fully prepared.

“That’s why we are stepping up preparations and strengthening our already extremely resilient contingency plans.

“This express freight service sends a clear message to the public that our plans should ensure supply of medical goods remains uninterrupted as we leave the EU.”
