There are so many people, it seems, that appear to have forgotten that we did have a (very successful) history before the EU![COLOR="Silver"]

Maybe ‘extremely concerned’ is a better description when the answer is we don’t know to the following questions;
Will drugs produced to EMA standards be acceptable in the UK?
Will drugs produced to UK standards be acceptable in EMA governed countries
Will the UK contribute to international drug bodies such as the International Committee for Harmonisation
How will raw materials quality be governed?
How will raw material manufacturers in the UK be inspected before shipment to other countries?
These questions and others need an answer and soon so plans can be made.
Of course this and other industries existed before we joined the EU but the industry has changed beyond all recognition. The best selling drug in the 70s was Valium. It’s now Etanercept, an incredibly complicated product to manufacture.
