These plans include:</p><p>- Procuring additional capacity on alternative routes (away from the short straits) for goods to continue to come into the UK ahead EU exit;</p><p>- buffer stocks and stockpiling (where this is practical) or asking industry or the NHS Supply Chain to build up buffer stocks in the UK ahead of EU exit;</p><p>- Arrangements to deal with shortages in addition to normal shortage management routes, enabling ministers to issue serious shortage protocols to pharmacists;</p><p>- additional warehouse space for stockpiled medicines, including ambient, refrigerated and controlled drug storage;</p><p>- working with industry to improve trader readiness in preparation for the new customs procedures that will come into force on day 1 if we leave the EU without a deal; and</p><p>- changing or clarifying regulatory requirements so that companies can continue to sell their products in the UK if the UK leaves without a deal.</p><p>The Department has implemented a multi-layered approach to mitigate potential disruption to supply.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/10/2019 answer text <p>The primary responsibility for ensuring continuity in the provision of adult social care – and for supporting providers to take the necessary steps to prepare for European Union exit on 31 October - lies with local authorities. The Government recognises the additional pressure that EU exit could place on providers and local authorities. That is why we have taken steps, nationally, to ensure all registered providers have the advice and support they need to make their preparations.</p><p>We are working closely with the Care Providers Alliance, the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services and the Care Quality Commission to support local authorities and care providers to ensure that contingency plans are in place and are as robust as possible, including through regular monitoring of local-level intelligence. We are strengthening further our communication to providers and local authorities about the preparations they need to make. We are also assessing the robustness of the supply chain for non-clinical consumables for the adult social care sector to identify and enable us to act on any particular weaknesses.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage grouped question UIN 291599 question first answered 02/10/2019 15:57:18 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
