Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether his Department has sought assurances from the NHS on the preparedness of NHS organisations in the event that the UK leaves the EU without a deal.

The Department is working with its partners across Government, arm’s-length bodies, local authorities, industry and the wider health and care system to ensure that all relevant parties are prepared for exiting the European Union. The quality and safety of patient care is paramount in our preparedness plans.
