An open letter to MPs on the impact of a no deal Brexit on health and care

In an open letter to MPs, The King's Fund, the Health Foundation and Nuffield Trust have summarised the four major areas where the impact of a no deal Brexit could be felt most sharply in health and care. 

There is a very real risk that leaving the EU without an agreement could exacerbate the workforce crisis in health and care, drive up demand for already hard-pressed services, hinder the supply of medicines and other vital supplies, and stretch the public finances which pay for healthcare.

They conclude that a no deal Brexit could cause significant harm to health and social care services and the people who rely on them.
