“…These are: undermining the National Institute for Clinical Excellence, extending intellectual property protection, a weakening of regulatory protection, a reduction in scrutiny pertaining to trade, the increased possibility of decisions being made behind closed doors and increased hazards with regards to trade. Godlee et al ( 2018 ) along with van Schalkwyk et al ( 2019 ) argue that a ‘No Deal’ Brexit would disrupt complex supply chains and result in shortages of medicines and devices. Dayan et al ( 2020 ) examine the impact on health in the UK more generally by considering uncertainties surrounding the short-term supply of medicines and medical devices to the UK after the end of the transitional period and the effects of government regulation of the causes of ill-health including poor air quality, tobacco and unhealthy and unsafe food.…”

This paper examines three aspects of Brexit with regards to the NHS. First, we consider the influence of views regarding one of the most contentious issues in the referendum campaign: Vote Leave ’s claim that the ‘savings’ from EU membership could alternatively be used to provide additional funding for the NHS. We find that views about NHS underfunding had a relatively small, but statistically significant, effect on leave voting even after controlling for a range of socio-demographic and economic variables. However, the magnitude of this effect is reduced and becomes insignificant when health-related and cultural controls are added. Second, we examine how NHS workers voted relative to others in employment, and find that a relatively high proportion was actually leave voters. Finally, we analyse whether individuals thought that Brexit would have a positive or negative impact on the NHS, as well as the reason or reasons for their view. We find that supporters of the Conservative party were by far the most likely to think that Brexit would be good for the NHS.
