Open Invest in and support insulin production in the UK to ensure self-sufficiency

Created by Judith Hoffman
Closes on

The UK is too reliant on insulin production from other countries. People with diabetes must be able to rest assured that the supply cannot be disrupted by global uncertainties. The UK must increase its own manufacture of insulin.

Every time global affairs such as the wars in Ukraine, the Middle East etc are in the news,families with relatives with Type 1 Diabetes live with anxiety around the production chain for insulin being disrupted. Although we get most of our insulin from Europe , since Brexit we can’t rely on being the first priority should there be a shortage in supplies. It is vital we produce our own supplies of this life saving substance.
