UKHCA attended a DHSC Adult Social Care roundtable recently on Brexit Transition, which involved stakeholders from the sector and senior officials from the EU Exit and Adult Social Care DHSC teams. The following information, which followed the roundtable, may be useful to providers:

• DHSC Chief Operating Officer, Steve Oldfield's, 17 November 2020 letter to medicines and medical product suppliers, supply chain and businesses.
• The latest guidance on the PPE Portal is available on the guidance page, including contact numbers for customer queries. 
• Details about the government's phased approach at the borders is accessible here.
• Updated information for those involved in health and care on preparing for the end of the transition period on 31 December 2020: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/guidance-for-the-health-and-care-sector-from-1-january-2021

The issue of data as it affects adult social care providers is still being discussed.
