The extensive preparations also include extra warehouse capacity in Britain to store medical supplies, drug firms stockpiling an extra six weeks of products, and daily flights from Maastricht in the Netherlands to Birmingham to bring in items that the NHS needs. The UK government has set up a logistics hub in Brexit to serve as a warehouse for vital medical supplies if no UK deal is agreed. Drugs, implants and stents are among the items that will be stored at the undisclosed location. While not guaranteeing medical supplies will be uninterrupted, health minister Steve Oldfield said he was confident stocks would be sufficient, if transport and health care services work together. The Department of Health and Social Care has arranged around three-quarters additional ferry routes for delivering items from the The Department of Health and Social Care to different points around the country.
