Almost 2 years since I successfully passed a European Medicines Agency amendment to the then Trade Bill. Its primary purpose was to help the UK avoid medicine supply problems post Brexit. Look where we are now. Don’t recall “drug supply difficulties” being on the side of that bus
NEW/EXC The UK is looking to rebuild it's six-week 'no deal' medicines stockpile, but #coronavirus fallout looks like this is going to be very hard, causing "serious concerns" at Dept of Health - my latest with @SarahNev 1/thread ft.com/content/4611bf7d-c749…

A tragic day for Britain
Today, EMA staff lowered the 28 EU flags and symbolically said goodbye to their London offices. Guido Rasi expressed his thanks to the UK for its contribution to the work of the Agency and for having been a gracious host of EMA since 1995.

Doctors who care about the future of the NHS can see the damage that Brexit is already doing - and GPs have today called for a #peoplesvote on the final deal.
#RCGPCouncil has passed a motion to oppose the UK's exit from the European Union (46 for; 11 against; 6 abstentions); #RCGPCouncil has passed a motion to support a #PeoplesVote (38 for; 18 against; 7 abstentions). Press release with full text of the motion to follow. @HelenRCGP

Christmas is coming. The PM's Brexit wish list to Santa will leave NHS patients with no guarantees that they'll keep the benefits of being members of the European Medicines Agency. #politicaldeclaration @peoplesvote_uk

In light of today's agreement, we will be urging MPs to vote against the deal and go back to the people.

It is therefore the duty of all MPs to put their political allegiances aside and vote against this deal - for the good of patients. Please share this post.

Parliament passed an amendment to the EU Withdrawal Act to keep the U.K. in the European Medicines Agency. The political declaration states that “the Parties will also explore the possibility of cooperation”. Parliament ignored again. So much for taking back control.

Not being part of the European Medicines Agency will push the UK to the back of the queue for new medical drugs, including those currently in development for treating #HIV. #Brexit is a disaster. Support a #PeoplesVote to #StopBrexit.

What is the price of #Brexit ? Free trade deal with US opening healthcare market to international companies, losing @EMA_News, losing EU health & social care staff & research collaboration opportunities... @PaulWilliamsMP says there is no good Brexit scenario for the NHS @TheBMA
