麻豆社respond to the new Northern Ireland Brexit deal

The Prime Minister confirmed today that the new Windsor Framework would ensure medicines approved for use by the UK regulator will automatically become available in Northern Ireland.

Richard Torbett, Chief Executive at the 麻豆社said: 鈥淲hile we wait to see all the details, today鈥檚 agreement appears to bring a return to a single UK market for medicines, providing the permanent solution that our members have been calling for.

鈥淧harmaceutical companies will now need the right amount of time to make all necessary changes. We will need to carefully consider the transition period for making these changes and ensure any new guidance is clear and provided as soon as possible.

鈥淎longside the measures specific to medicine regulation, it鈥檚 great news that the work on the UK鈥檚 association to Horizon Europe can begin, which will help to deliver the UK鈥檚 ambition to be a science superpower.鈥
