Brexit: Health secretary admits plans to stockpile medicines and blood in case of no-deal 'Some of the medicines most difficult to provide in a no-deal scenario, where there is difficult access through ports, will need to be flown in'
The government is making plans to stockpile vital blood products and medicines in case of a no-deal Brexit, the new health secretary has said.
Matthew Hancock admitted he had already met with industry leaders to discuss building up NHS reserves of vaccinations and other medical supplies if Britain crashes out of the European Union without a deal.
His comments came after Dominic Raab, the new Brexit secretary, finally confirmed plans were in place to stockpile food as ministers ramp up their planning in case the negotiations fail. The Independent
