Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what support his Department is providing to UK nationals stranded abroad and running low on medication due to the covid-19 outbreak; and if he will make a statement.

All our individual country travel advice pages include advice on how to access local medical care and prescriptions. In many countries, it is possible to make an appointment with a local doctor to arrange an alternative prescription. We recognise that local measures to combat the spread of Covid-19 are presenting challenges for some people and are working with authorities in each country to resolve these. British nationals should call the relevant embassy, high commission or consulate before they run out of medication if they have not been able to replace it using our published advice.
