NHS trust chief in no-deal Brexit medicine warning

NHS trust chief in no-deal Brexit medicine warning NHS trusts could "quickly run out of vital medicine" in the event of a no-deal Brexit, the chief executive of a leading hospital group has warned.

Dr David Rosser of University Hospitals Birmingham (UHB) said that, despite NHS stockpiling, shortages would likely occur due to "unprecedented" distribution challenges.

Medicine shortages could lead to some operations being postponed, he said.

The Department of Health said planning for a no-deal Brexit was "ongoing". BBC News
