‘I had to do an 80-mile trip’: the stress caused by the 'New Normal' of drug shortages in UK

#BrexitBenefit

Patients have described the effect on their health and wellbeing of the “new normal” of drug shortages in the UK, which has led to three-month delays and 80-mile round trips to acquire #medication.

“I do have friends who have been struggling to get antidepressants and ADHD medication, and the delays I’ve experience has made me concerned for if I would experience medication #shortages for something more serious in the future.”

Garden centres in UK stockpile plants before new #Brexit checks

Yet another #BrexitBenefit

The government will introduce physical checks for many plant and animal products coming into Britain from the EU on 30 April as part of its new border target operating model (Btom).

However, plant sellers and growers have consistently raised concerns that the checks could cause delays and lead to some plants being destroyed or damaged.

New #Brexit checks will cause food shortages in UK, importers warn

In the week after the government was accused of blindsiding the British food industry by giving 27 days’ notice that every consignment of items such as camembert, steak, tulips and chives would be subject to fees of up to £145, small retailers such as delis and farm shops have been scrambling to make sure they still have products to sell.

But they say some EU exporters have already decided that they have had enough of British red tape and are either pausing supply operations or have given up completely.

Food wholesalers and trade associations have told the Observer of suppliers in EU countries who are already looking at other markets instead of the UK.

Das politische Chaos in der Downing Street wirkt bis heute nach. Und nun? In dieser 11KM-Folge erzählt die langjährige ARD Korrespondentin Annette Dittert was aus ihrem geliebten Großbritannien geworden ist und warum ihr ausgerechnet ein schottisches Mädchen Hoffnung gibt....

#UK ‘used to be a leader on #climate’, lament European lawmakers

MEPs react to ‘tragic’ findings revealing UK falling behind #EU in key environmental policies since #Brexit

Since Brexit, the UK has weakened its #environment rules in key policy areas, from chemicals to climate. Among other measures, the EU has done more than the UK to ban harmful pesticides and substances, tax carbon emissions on imported goods, regulate batteries, and clean the air.

The two economies are expected to grow further apart in environmental ambition as the EU brings in new rules on industrial emissions, outdoor air quality, critical raw materials, water treatment, and electrical waste recycling.

Irish MEP with the Green group Grace O’Sullivan highlighted the UK’s worsening #water quality standards as a “particularly troubling” example of #divergence. “In Ireland, where previous governments have failed to prioritise the environment, EU legislation like this was instrumental in obliging the government to act to protect its own people from poor water treatment practices.”

She added: “Both British and Irish people will bear the brunt of the UK government’s poor environmental record, as the recent collapse in water quality in Northern Ireland’s Lough Neagh demonstrated.”
