We have multiple work streams established and have connected with the applicable forums in our preparation for Brexit. As examples, we are closely working with the Sustainable Procurement and Supply Chain departments at the Department of Health (DoH). Our preparations for stock holding are being reviewed and exceed the requests from the NHS. This has resulted in a review of our warehouse stock holding and, where appropriate, an increase of our stock levels.
The interaction with the NHS will continue and, as Brexit becomes clearer, we will communicate further once we have the actual detail. In the interim we will continue to work with NHS Supply Chain to ensure continuity of supply. Fresenius Medical Care wishes to reassure our partners of our ongoing commitment to support the needs of renal patients in the UK & Ireland.
