ABPI statement on the Northern Ireland Protocol

The UK Government has published a Command Paper: Northern Ireland Protocol: the way forward. 

In a statement, Richard Torbett, Chief Executive, the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, said:

"It’s clear that medicines remain high on the agenda, but our issues still need to be resolved. We urgently need the UK and the EU to agree a way forward on how the Protocol will work for patients in Northern Ireland, and provide companies with the time, support, and assurances they need.

“With time running out, it is critical that all possible solutions are fully explored and considered together with stakeholders, in the best interests of patients.”
