The term \u2018lead provider\u2019 does not have a specific legal definition, but it usually means a person who holds a contract, and subcontracts some obligations under that contract. It is a term used in the National Health Service and elsewhere. In the NHS context, health and other related services are commissioned by public bodies \u2013 NHS England, clinical commissioning groups and local authorities. Providers, including lead providers, may be NHS (i.e. NHS trusts and foundation trusts) or non-NHS bodies.<\/p>

The Government could not, therefore, agree to a resolution which had the potential to increase medicines prices and reduce patient access, by reducing the ability of the National Health Service to undertake commercial negotiations with pharmaceutical companies on the price of new medicines.<\/p> The approach taken by the NHS has meant we were the first country in Europe to offer innovative CAR-T therapies, alongside many other new medicines.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}

However, as a responsible Government, we will continue to prepare to minimise any disruption to the supply of medicines and medical products in a potential \u2018no deal\u2019 scenario.<\/p> We are continuing to work with trade bodies and other stakeholders to carefully review the implications of the extension to the Article 50 period until 31 October at the latest before sharing further guidance with industry at the earliest opportunity. On 26 April we wrote to suppliers advising that, until further guidance is provided, all no-deal measures, including stockpiles and plans to route away from the short straits, should remain in place but on hold.<\/p>"}
