Brexit: NHS managers warn about impact of no deal

[Northerner]

The group representing hospitals and ambulance services in England has warned of a lack of "contingency planning" to deal with the impact of a no-deal Brexit on the health service.

In a leaked email to NHS England boss Simon Stevens, NHS Providers says leaving the EU without agreement would immediately be a real risk to services.

The group warns it would make it harder to stop the spread of diseases.

NHS England said preparing for every potential Brexit outcome is a priority.

Ministers are to reveal more details of their contingency planning for a no-deal Brexit later this week.

A no deal Brexit was plan A all along, whether the people of the UK want it or not (and recent polls suggest they don’t). Best of luck with that, then.
