Ms Cordery's warning follows a meeting this week of leaders from NHS Trusts across England.
She said:"Because we are talking about kind of drugs that are needed when someone needs hospital care, it would seem very likely that if these drugs are not available, then this would ultimately have a serious impact on a patient's condition and the quality of care they receive."Trusts are getting by at the moment. Whilst we aren't seeing direct impact on patients, if it continues in this way, obviously ultimately will have an impact.
Mark Dayan, of the Nuffield Trust think tank, said:"Stockpiling might be a plausible mechanism for price rises and therefore shortages.
Over 80% of all drugs madeinchina so why is it a problem of brexit.. spitefull hatefull politics at its best.. once again.
Just hold on 1 more week guys, then the money's gonna be ROLLING IN NHS Brexit brexitlies
What a surprise is there anything that Brexit isn't blamed for currently!!😤
We haven’t even left yet so how can that be? I suppose the NHS not being able to cope at Christmas is down to Brexit too.
DavidWCummins True. Although im abroad on my way back to brexitland today. My husband went to pick up my prescription (cancer drug) and they could only dispense 1 box, that is just for 1 month. We will troll all the local pharmacies later on today looking for the just in case box. 😕
Unprecedented shortage of accountability linked to BBC
This is happening to me. Luckily not the drug which would endanger my life if I had to stop it, but one which needs to be at a constant level, so gastrointestinal side effects don't happen :(
Well there would be a shortage when greedy-ass manufacturers increase prices from 16p to almost £10 PER TABLET and government won't pay for life saving drugs!!!
Only just got round to seeing this, my local pharmacy is having trouble getting my insulin needles and blood testing strips so I know it isn't just a fearmongering article Brexit has affected a lot of diabetic related things, should have expected this really
Open trade deals with the US perhaps?
My pharmacy back this up. Those that deny it, I hope you are not dependent on drugs from the EU.
Oh now you finally admit this wasn’t “Project fear” after all! When that public enquiry comes you as an institution will get plenty of the blame with your false equivalence and pretending the Referendum was illegally won!
It’s also to blame for there being no chicken samosas at the shop this morning. Fuming 😤
Talking bollocks again
Remarkable, the article even admits that they “normally” have drug shortages, but ofc, the current increase of shortages can’t be down to the same reasons they ALREADY have drug shortages even though we are STILL IN, nope, it’s Brexit...give us a break you utter imbeciles.
But when u get a lying Tory on and they say everything is fine, you don’t challenge them. You are a part of the mess our country is in.
IndyrefTWO BBC lies linked to hating Scotland and grovelling to Tory scum
Yeah.... right
Brexit hasn’t happened yet. Why are we blaming everything on something that hasn’t happened yet? Food, services, insurance, and foreign travel, and going up because of something that hasn’t happened yet.
The article says it could be because someone’s decided to stockpile and drive up the prices this way before Brexit. Maybe maybe UK production industry opportunities to come back
The refusal of Leave supporters to accept anything that points brexit in a negative light. It's all project fear, all of it ? Evidence of what a disaster it is is never even contemplated, it's thrown back at you with empty statements like leave means leave, you lost get over it
My HRT has been unavailable since November. Its replacement is now also unavailable. It's needed as I had an oophorectomy. My son's epilepsy medicine is now unavailable. The generic 'best alternative' is so full of artificial colour and flavour, his behaviour has deteriorated.
I'm pretty sure this is due to diesel... dieselgate BrexitShambles
I know what! Why not revoke article 50?
Bollocks!!!!!
Anyone claiming this is ‘Project Fear’ needs to see this is Project Reality. We are leaving in 8 days without a deal. This is going to hit every single person in the UK hard. It poses an existential threat to our country.
Parkinson's drugs in dorset
We haven’t even left yet, so it can’t be Brexit, just incompetence.
Obviously there is a vote coming soon
How can it be Brexit? Brexit has not happened. Come on, BBC! If you are going to lie, at least make the lies believable.
So prescribed drugs may be in short supply, yet outlawed drugs are flooding our streets! Maybe we should go cap in hand to our neighbourhood drug dealers!
Absolute rubbish!
We haven’t left yet so a clear lie. 7 of 10 top drug companies are American so likely shortages are bugger all.
Bloody scaremongering again 😡
Bullsht scaremongering
andy_s_64
Stress and anxiety relief drugs by any chance?
Thank god all the real pharmaceutical experts are here to refute what those actual bloody pharmacists are saying. I’ll rest easy in my bed.
So they cant say for certain its brexit but that doesnt stop the BBC saying it is. its about time the media stopped spreading fake news.
What load of B....cks We are still in the EU and if if we leave everything stays the same for at least a year If there’s any shortage then it’s bad management from the NHS bosses
But we’re British! Medicine is for weak Europeans!
Local health authorities are short of drugs because local health authorities have been stockpiling drugs. Got it, makes perfect sense.
People spouting “Project Fear” obviously have not actually experienced their meds being unavailable like some of us.
more biased fake news from The British Bullshit Corporation. fakenews
Oh please, this is nothing to do with Brexit! It’s just another in a really, really, really long list of coincidences. Nothing to do with Brexit!
As advertised on the bbc
Some people are scared of their own shadow. Common sense tells me that we’ve not left so it’s BOLLOCKS ! Remoaners don’t seem to have any. Common sense or BOLLOCKS !
In line with editorial policy, BBC ramps up coverage of Brexit shortages stories before May’s proposed MV3 next week in an effort to generate pressure on MPs to fall behind May’s deal. At same time, BBC deliberately under reports massive swing in UK public support for remain.
If only the NHS had had time to prepare.
They're bluffing, just like Airbus, BMW and the EU.
JuliaHB1 thoughts?
Put a cap on it!.........We know this is scaremongering.
Just coincidence, then?
BBC Can't even give a good pay out on a game show never mind make News that's the truth, you should be called the Sun cus they talk shit too
You are complicit in this mess. You have behaved appallingly. It’s time to come clean and inform the public what No Deal really means.
We haven’t left yet
🙄
quark15 joelymack 🙁
No shit
RevokeArticle50
Hold on! Are we not still in the EU?
Its weird isn't it the mainstream media, economists, most politicians and academics dont want Brexit. Its almost as if it was a bad idea.
Surely we can pay for the much needed drugs with the promised £350 a week for the NHS? What's that? It was a massive lie? Here's me thinking those brexit chappies were such honest, upstanding pillars.
It is obvious that Brexit causes a lot of problems in terms of medicine supplies and availability. Brexit
Twats in the replies screaming ‘project fear’ smh
All those saying this is ‘Project Fear’ cannot possibly know that there is no risk. What they are really saying is ‘this won’t affect me and I don’t care about those it might’.
There is a massive crisis of mental health in the UK judging from the comments here
Rubbish
The bots have really mobilised for this one.
It amazes me, we in the UK have some of the most brilliant minds in the world with great institution like the NHS with all the money that is pumped into the place we should be making the drugs and selling to the world. Like all businesses get on the phone for new suppliers.UseRw8
.. and the usual 'woke' photograph to accompany this pile of sh*t of a 'report' ...
Fake news. I don't believe a word of it.
Yeah sure.....it’s so very boring now.
Brexit aint happend yet nor will it effect supplys yet its more scare tactics
Good excuse to raise the prices.
Another load of bollocks from the BBC but then why change the habits of a lifetime?.😟
Lots of may,could,would and even one no evidence to suggest in the story.
BOLLOCKS
Rubbish... project fear on the March 🙄
Any one got any weed ? cash waiting. Half oz be nice.
🐂 💩
Project fear brigade again
Absolute rubbish. There were shortages years before Brexit was a twinkle in Cameron’s eye!
Bonkers. Will every manager now use Brexit as a cover for incompetence? (in the confidence that the BBC will broadcast it)
Oh dear! Here we go again! Brussels Broadcasting Company - project fear ramping up! 🤦♀️
At least they’ll be buried with their blue passports.
PhanTOMMM_UK Department of health have already rubbished this lie.

Bullshit but fair play for trying
