Still not getting why anything would be completely delayed by 3 months.

Medicines are manufactured in this country, using ingredients sourced elsewhere...

Each month, approximately 82 million packs of medicine flow between the UK and the EU, according to a recent report from the Brexit Health Alliance, a coalition including the National Health Service (NHS) and various biomedical, research, patient, and public health organizations. Any post-Brexit hurdles to the free movement of goods could spell trouble for those supplies, potentially leading to temporary drug shortages.
For example, medicinal insulin, used by millions of diabetes patients—including UK prime minister Theresa May—is not manufactured in the UK, nor is it easily stored, as it requires temperature-controlled conditions. The medicine is partly produced and packaged in the EU, and a disruption to the supply chain due to a no-deal Brexit “is one of the ways that patients could be severely disadvantaged,” Michael Rawlins, chair of the MHRA, told The Pharmaceutical Journal in July.
