To think we need to talk about this specific serious Brexit issue without being hidden away?

Leaked emails between NHS England and NHS Providers have shown that a no deal Brexit (Nrexit?) will have a real risk of impact on services. Stockpiling of equipment and drugs seems to be the main point of discussion - this seems to be main topic of conversation at my hospital and my colleagues are dumbfounded that this is what we are coming to.

We as a community, as nation, a society need to talk about this. The NHS is something to be proud of, is something they banged on about whilst campaigning, is something fit for advertising on a bus! How on earth can this country let be impacted in such a dangerous and aggressive way?

Look, I get why the whole of AIBU can’t be taken us by one topic but equally Brexit, particularly a no-deal Brexit is going to impact our lives in ways in which we can’t imagine. This topic needs to be discussed on the widest forum and on this site that is AIBU. There are lots of sub forums for clothes, pets, relationships and those topics don’t get rerouted elsewhere.

This is precisely the sort of thing I am worried about:

Network Rail looks to save money by ditching EU standards - Safety board warns it would be a mistake to discard regulations too quickly after Brexit

So the rail industry is facing a funding problem, so they'll just make our trains less safe to make up for it as soon as we're out of the EU. Bloody marvellous.

As always contact your local MP (email will do) detailing your concerns and gow brexit will impact you.

Surely the will of the people is good healthcare and safety?!

For some reason although I'd heard something about the UK needing to import radioisotopes, I hadn't quite connected that to my DC's scans.

66 hours is the half-life of the molybdenum-99 that Technetium-99m is transported as. That does not allow stockpiling. Doesn't really allow sitting in a queue on a motorway for days on end waiting for customs either.

Only 66hrs? Thats not long at all.
