Hello
We've had a request from Heather Saul, the woman's editor at "the i" newspaper, who'd like to find out more about what Mumsnet users think about how (or indeed whether) Brexit is affecting their approach towards prescription and over-the-counter medicines.
We know from a recent survey of Mumsnet users that 11% of respondents said they were stockpiling over-the-counter medicines, and 8% said they were stocking up on prescription drugs. We've also seen from quite a few threads that for those who have chronic or serious conditions - or who are caring for people who do - the availability of medicines and things such as prescription formula seem to be causing some anxiety.
Heather Saul covered the grocery-stockpiling aspects of our survey in the i at the time and she's now interested in finding out more about which conditions and medicines are causing MNers the most concern as B-Day, and a possible No Deal, approaches.
So if there's anything you'd like to share about your thoughts, specifically on medicines and health, please add your posts here. Of course if you're not at all worried and think the risk has been overstated, you're very welcome to say so!
If anyone would like to share something with Heather off-site, you can email her directly on [email protected] [contact details edited by MNHQ 26/02/19]. She's also on the look-out for people who might be willing to be interviewed on this topic, so if that's something you're happy to consider please email her and she can let you have more details.
And she's also keen to talk to Leave voters about what they think about Brexit now - so again, if you've got something you'd like to share, please let us know here or email Heather directly.
Thanks
MNHQ
