The NuffieldTrust says there is a risk that some medicines could be discontinued without further agreement on the Northern Ireland Protocol
It gets most of its medicines from Great Britain, which is not.
The EU accepted this was a problem and in April 2022 changed its laws so that medicines entering Northern Ireland from Great Britain would not need additional labelling or testing, things which would have been required by the protocol in its original form.Dr Alan Stout of the BMA said there had been "pain and hassle" for pharmaceutical distributors but the mitigations, the derogations and negotiations had clearly worked.
Dr Stout said the concern now was that when some of the derogations run their course there could be a new "cliff edge".Last week, industry representatives focused on the issue of a drugs approval process known as centralised procedures. The extra cost of producing separate packs could see some products being withdrawn from Northern Ireland.
