Its an absurdity to think that the UK might become the 'Wild West of medicine' due to Brexit, or the supply chain will somehow dry up, its project fear at its worst.

We'll throw money at it, surely.
No doubt paying a big contract to the people who currently do the work, and spinning the news of this.

If the EMA won't communicate with the MHRA, I guess the drug manufacturers will be quite happy to supply full details of their approval for use in the EU to the UK authorities. They will still want to sell their products in the UK after all.
At the end of the day, it's big business, not politics, and big business usually finds a way.
Fine, then you seem not to agree with HT that pharmaceutical Armageddon is an likely outcome due to Brexit.

That is my guess. Not saying I definitely won't be wrong.

We can just add it to all the other departments and public bodies which will need to recruit, train and manage huge new numbers of staff, offices, infrastructure and computer systems in the next 16 months.

Yes, it's appalling - we'll have to re-deploy some of the people currently working to implement EU law, and dealing with other matters relating to our membership of the EU. They won't like that - at least, those that voted to remain won't...........................

Brilliant - I didn't realise that we mirrored all the EU jobs with our own BRITISH team. You should have mentioned it earlier
Maybe we can forget about the extra 2 years membership that we are trying to get and just re-assign existing staff. (Those who survived the austerity cuts)

Yes change, things are changing, recruitment might be needed, money might need to be spent, but you cannot post up an example of something as bound to fail whilst not acknowledging the UK's likelihood of ensuring that will not fail.
Argue the toss about cost, bureaucracy, recruitment or whatever floats your boat, but to post an inevitable pharmaceutical Armageddon is plain daft and project fear at its most ignorant.

You were telling people from that industry that they were wrong but you still haven't explained how it would work ?
Bit like my experience is with large corporates, government departments, and politicians which is why I am now highlighting the problems in those areas and why I think we will extend our membership beyond the 2 further years we've already requested. I wonder what is your area of expertise that 'floats your boat' ?
But back to the medical industry - what's your solution ?

I was telling HT who is a committed Remainer and seems to think that the UK is incapable of most things and those posters on here that immediately accept any morsel of impending UK gloom that it is absurd to think that Brexit is likely to cause the outcomes he suggested, HT didn't once offer a view of how these things might be mitigated, it was his usual wallowing of UK incompetence and Brexiteers ignorance and it's all so predictable.
Change is happening, Brexit will involve some challenges, but to think the 5th or 6th largest economy in the world is unable to find solutions to pharmaceutical supply seems unlikely.

Dont be daft, finding a solution implies there is firstly a problem and if one does exist then I shall leave that to the UK government.
I agree with the point that solutions will be found, of course they will. It’s how long it takes to find them and the cost implications that are worrying. This government doesn’t seem to have any idea what they are doing are they are in charge of finding these solutions.
I doubt whether the government is as inept as you say, I suspect that there is an army of highly skilled civil servants that will unpick most regulation and deliver positive outcomes within time frames that don't adversely effect stuff.
I do agree that it is a valid position to challenge costs and implementation times if you think these exists, but that wasn't how HT instigated this debate.

I find it odd that you claim nobody has been abused for having an ITALIAN mother-how did you manage to choose that particular nationality?Why someone should specifically target medical drugs for cancer,knowing a fellow poster has it,if not intending to cause distress,to the extent of continuing after they had that information again.Groovy gang at their worst again.

i agree with that to a point - the government isnt being seen to be doing much. they do have several 10000s of staff with hundreds in a department dedicated to this. there are further quasi-government and industry bodies researching and providing papers on this. the trouble is the politicians are still fighting over the result and in some cases making cheap party political points, last night a couple of MPs were on TV and one made a good point to begin then regressed back to argument over whether we should/could leave or not. not about the how, but whether it should happen.
Are you suggesting, for your 1.5, that the UK simply accepts another body’s recommendation? Or have I misunderstood?
My definition of ignorant is talking about things you don’t have a clue about.
