Our contingency plans include sensible mitigations for medicines that come to the United Kingdom from or via the EU.

We will continue to work closely with these companies in order to ensure continuity of supply of all medicines to patients is maintained.</p> answering member constituency Wimbledon answering member printed Stephen Hammond question first answered 23/01/2019 13:44:55 answering member 1585 label Biography information for Stephen Hammond
