Brexit and my MP - Part 47 - Health Impacts

Now here's an interesting question to put to Brexiteers:


Dear Mrs Milton

I have recently read this paper from BMJ Open: https://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/9/1/e026966. In it the authors come to the rather disturbing conclusion that under all Brexit scenarios they modelled increased costs of fruit and vegetables could result in between 3000 and 23000 extra deaths in the UK by 2030.  I will leave you to read the detailed analysis. I would be interested to know what health impact assessments of Brexit have been undertaken by the government, what conclusions were drawn and how you have factored such issues into your support for Brexit.

Yours sincerely

Richard Bawden
