can to ensure patients continue to access safe and effective medicines in all scenarios.</p><p>It
remains the Government’s objective to negotiate a future relationship with the European
Union before the end of the Transition Period and to make sure that patients reap
the rewards. Both the United Kingdom and EU, in their published negotiating documents,

approach sets out how we want to facilitate trade in medicinal products such as diabetic
medicines and medical radioisotopes and support high levels of patient safety.</p><p>The

Health Service and others in the supply chain to help ensure patients can access the
medicines they need, and precautions are in place to reduce the likelihood of future
shortages.</p>
