Don't hoard medicines for Brexit, health secretary says

Matt Hancock writes to doctors and pharmacies amid fears patients might stock up in panic

The health secretary has told patients and clinicians not to hoard medicines in the run-up to Brexit amid fears that the British public might panic about the supply of prescription drugs.

In a letter to all NHS organisations, GPs and pharmacies demanding a series of preparations for a no-deal Brexit, Matt Hancock threatened to investigate any clinicians who built up unnecessary stocks.
