Phew, that's okay then

I have just been in touch with Eli Lilly, and talked to Lorna about why they import from so many countries, including 3 rd world countries. As I pointed out that they are such a huge well known pharmaceutical company, why can't they manufacture and process Insulin, here in the UK. Lorna said it is a company decision. I talked about the ongoing Brexit worries that have been posted on a Diabetes forum and Lorna said patients would be reassured that there would be no affect on us getting Insulin, but obviously she couldn't speak for my Insulin manufacture's, Novo Nordisk, or other's. So I asked for feedback regarding my call and she took my name, telephone No and email address.
