Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health
Brexit Preparations Update: Discussion
Dr. Lorraine Nolan:
From the intelligence we have, we do not have anything to substantiate that such is the case. Consistently, through all our messaging on Brexit reparation, we have engaged with healthcare professionals and we really have cultivated their support in pushing that message out, particularly to patients, to ensure that they do not stockpile. As I mentioned in my statement, it is important. The marketplace operates on a precise dynamic and stockpiling that may occur will upset that balance. In terms of ensuring continuity of supply, it is important that there is messaging to refrain from stockpiling.
