UK’s DHSC Launches No Deal Brexit Contingency Plan

August 23, 2018

The UK’s Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) released a contingency plan Thursday in anticipation of an unlikely ‘no deal’ Brexit situation.

Although the UK plans to leave the EU on March 29, 2019, a ‘no deal’ Brexit scenario, while doubtful, could potentially disrupt the supply of medical devices and clinical products that are imported into the UK from other EU countries.

In preparation for this, the department analyzed supply chains for medical devices and clinical consumables to determine the proportion of products that are routinely imported.
