PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Department of Health and Social Care: Brexit (2 September 2019)

The Department is working with its partners across Government, arm’s length bodies, local authorities, industry and the wider health and care system to ensure that all relevant parties are prepared for exiting the European Union. The quality and safety of patient care is paramount in our preparedness plans.

The Department, alongside NHS England and NHS Improvement, is ensuring that there is regular communication with frontline National Health Service organisations and stakeholders in the health and social care sector regarding EU exit preparations. NHS England will be holding EU exit roadshows in the lead up to the 31 October, building on the regular communication that the Department and NHS England has with the frontline.
