Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether the UK will be excluded from European Reference Networks when the UK leaves the EU.
The United Kingdom will be leaving the European Union on 31 October whatever the circumstances. We would prefer to leave with a deal. The details of this partnership, including participation in the European Reference Networks, will be a matter for negotiation with the EU after we leave. We are preparing for that negotiation and will work with a wide range of partners to ensure a successful outcome for UK business and citizens.
