The Department of Health and Social Care and NHS England have given little practical advice to patients in England about what they can do if they are left unable to get hold of their normal drugs.
The Patients Association campaign group is advising people who cannot access drugs from their GP or pharmacy to contact their local clinical commissioning group (CCG).
“Patients are in a very difficult position. The end result of Brexit could mean no change to their medicine supply at all, or potentially serious disruption,” said Rachel Power, the chief executive of the Patients Association.
Charities dealing with particular health conditions, such as Macmillan Cancer Support or Parkinson’s UK, are also being suggested as potential sources of information and advice if shortages do occur.
