Brexit a key factor in worst UK medicine shortages in four years, report says

why aren't they back yet? if the UK cant fix brexit how can anyone hope for the US to fix Maga

Remoaners are the most annoying people on the planet apart from actual fascists but they do have a slight point here

The actual report, to side step guardian bs, states that all EU countries have suffered growth in medicine imports but its slightly worse in the UK due to Brexit. This is still a widespread issue with supply chains made slightly worse by brexit. Not that brexit is causing the issue, as the Guardian headline would want you to think.

It seems the Procurement act of 2023 has meant that we've moved away from EU slightly which means we are more susceptible to corrupt dealings with less transparency over procurement? I dont fully understand the act but that's what the Nuffield report states. If so, then that means this isn't brexit per se but just Tory opening up the Nhs to private contracts more easily. This could easily be changed by our incumbent government but they obviously wont as it means less contracts for their mates.

The guardian often want to show that brexit is main reason things are bad and ignore problems that are clearly due to national policy and the highs and lows of global capitalism. Brexit does exacerbate some issues but its rarely the cause of them.
