Would The Impact of Brexit have Negative Effect on Britain’s NHS?

Among the concerns for Britain’s health service raised in the Lancet study are recruitment and retention after the UK’s EU departure.

According to a review published in the Lancet, Brexit will cause significant harm to Britain’s national health service (NHS), with a no-deal option leading to the worst outcomes, 

All forms of Brexit will negatively affect the NHS, but a no-deal outcome would have negative effects on staff, financing, availability of medicines and vaccines, sharing of information and medical research, the study states.

While the withdrawal agreement negotiated between the United Kingdom and European Union, but not agreed by the British parliament, offers a more positive scenario compared to no deal, there are serious concerns about the negative impact of Brexit on the NHS beyond the transition period, say the authors.

Sould their analysis be dismissed as 'project fear'? However, what we must know is this is not something that can be done hastily without potentially jeopardising people’s health.
