No-deal Brexit may hit UK health service, report cautions

A warning that healthcare services across the UK may suffer if Britain leaves the EU without a Brexit deal.

Brexit could have an immediate and drastic effect on the United Kingdom’s National Health Service, especially if it leaves the European Union without a deal, a report says.

The findings, published in the medical journal The Lancet, suggest there could be shortages of medicines, vaccines and staff.
