There were reports of prices being hiked as the NHS stockpiled for Brexit

The Health Supplies Act means that in extreme circumstances the government can ask for information and impose prices where they deem necessary.

There are plans to use price-setting powers for the first time after drugs companies started increasing the cost of their products According the the Sunday Telegraph, Ministers have said they are acting after manufacturers ‘increased their prices to what appear to be unwarranted levels’.
