Mr. Karl Gardner:

On the first point, as the Minister said, in the run up to 2020 much work was done to make sure suppliers and providers engaged with the Department of Health and the people undertaking various exercises on the supply chains. One area we are working with the Commission on is to ensure continued market access to what they call the small member states of Cyprus, Malta and Ireland and which are English speaking small member states. It does not want any fallout from any impact the hubbing and the warehousing of products would have in the UK. As we saw with a number of issues, goods are brought in and dealt with in the UK and then are redistributed. That is an area we are working with the Commission on and it is well aware of it and it is in train.
