I remember @mrjamesob.bsky.social calling out a brexiter about this before we'd even left. Their response was that this would be a good thing for UK businesses as they could step up to fill the void.

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

No denying that Brexit made it worse but it isn’t the sole cause.
I remember, on Twitter, trying to explain to one of them how much damage losing full Single Market/Customs Union access would cause businesses like ours.
'Just do business,' he said. Ah, right. Thanks for that...
If in UK, relatively small domestic market and more difficult to export to EU27 and others.
And AZ is part Swedish.
… pitifully simplistic showing no insight into how anything actually works, how medicines get regulatory approval or what supply chains mean.
And so here we are… unable to bin off Brexit in case we offend the pathologically ignorant or enrage the politically corrupt.
4 months without a medication cost me a year of progress towards getting back to a full life, including work.
Lack of medication doesn't just ruin & cost lives, it has knock on effects on the cost of maintaining unmedicated people unable to work +.
