The Bill would not:


This is not going to plain sailing because if academics have to follow the pharma lead then there are problems ahead. 

It is going to be difficult to get enough money to support two phase III trials or is one now enough? If it is enough for academics why would it not be enough for pharma as this just slows down the process and costs more.


If it has to be to pharma standard then again it could be a problem as pharma spend millions getting their trials monitored properly and the paper work appropriately sorted.

Are the MHRA going to bite off the hand of their pharma paymasters?...They are 100% funded by pharma, so will they accept anything less than what industry have to do?

Maybe academics have put their head in the sand and say we will come to that hurdle when we get there and hope that they can bend their ears. It will be very embarassing if they can not. Pharma have been turned away and told to do trials again.


With a Cheap Drug you don't need the NICE cost effectiveness calculator: It exists to make expensive drugs cheaper!  So with cheapt drugs you don't need NICE.


In phase III trials the companies also put everyone on drug after the trial are academics going to do this?. Where is the cash coming from?

         DON'T LET PHARMA HAVE THE LAST LAUGH
              AT LEAST YOU CAN SAY YOU TRIED &
                      YOU HAVE LAZY ARSED MPs IF IT FAILS

                  WILL THE SNP USE THEIR POWER TO 
                       MAKE WESTMINSTER DO THIS.

           THEY SEEM TO BE RUN BY AQUATIC ANIMALS:-)
               FIRST THE SALMON, NOW THE STURGEON
                     WILL THEY BE AN AMPHIOXUS?:-)

The Bill is supported by a number of charities including Alzheimer’s Society, Breast Cancer Now, Prostate Cancer UK, Leukaemia Care, The Cure Parkinson’s Trust, and the Institute for Cancer Research,The MS Society

So if this bill fails surely  they mobilise 100,000 signatures to petition the government of debate this. 

15,000 on MS register alone
