Guarantee supply of & don't raise price on precription medicines after BREXIT

Closed 32 signatures

What the petition asks

I have a life long auto-immune disorder. One of my medicines is controlled, only released a month at a time. UK needs to ensure continuing supplies & fixed prices of medications following Brexit.

We need assurances that our essential medicines are available at a price we can reasonably afford.
The pharmaceutical industry is notoriously aggressive & profit oriented and we, the public, need to be protected from running out of, and being held over a barrel for vital medication following Brexit, especially if we are to leave the EMA.
