The DUP did not mention that the report concludes Brexit is having 'negative effects' on the UK's workforce, medicines and economy
The DUP has been challenged by Stormont opponents for "cherry-picking" a health report to support its criticisms of Brexit's Northern Ireland Protocol.
The study said that "Brexit has been another blow to resilience already stretched to breaking point" when combined with pressures from the Covid-19 pandemic and the war in Ukraine. More than 100 products have been approved for use in Great Britain but not Northern Ireland, while 52 have been granted marketing authorisation for Northern Ireland but not in Britain.EU laws were changed last year to ensure medicines entering the region from Britain do not need extra labelling or testing, but some drugs companies say Northern Ireland following EU licensing procedures still presents problems.
"The report highlights many challenges to the health sector overall, including staff shortages and drugs supply issues UK-wide," he said.
