Lords ChamberThe noble Baroness is right about the important role that EU workers play in the NHS, and I pay tribute again to the work that they do. We value them and want them to stay. We are in a position with the stock of EU workers here—and, equally, UK workers in other health systems—to recognise those qualifications. Clearly we will have to agree to continue doing that as part of the future negotiations. It has to be said that some concerns have been expressed by bodies such as the GMC about how that operates. We are working with them to make sure we get that right.
My Lords, could the Minister remind us what the effect of Brexit has been on the location of the European Medicines Agency?
The European Medicines Agency will be moving to Amsterdam.
