Pharma industry leaders warn planning for a no-deal Brexit is not as advanced as it was in March.
The Department for Transport said eight firms had signed up to a freight procurement framework, including ferry and aviation operators.The aim is to avoid bills on the scale run up by the government on freight deals earlier this year.
Transport Secretary Grant Shapps said:"We will do whatever it takes to ensure the flow of life-saving medicines into the UK. Mr Bates added that extensive planning for most contingencies had taken place with the industry in partnership with the government and there was a"robust system".There are also calls for the government to provide more information to doctors to advise their patients about the availability of medicines if there is a no-deal Brexit.
