Looking beyond the spin of Big Pharma PR. But encouraging gossip. Come in and confide, you know you want to! “I’ll publish right or wrong. Fools are my theme, let satire be my song.”

NICE - Rawlins bites back
'We are told we (NICE) are being mean all the time, but what nobody mentions is why the drugs are so expensive.'
And with little justification too. The attacks on NICE are wholly driven by industry. An industry who shamelessly abuse the patient groups to legitimise the message.
The old arguements about high prices to support R&D are tired and without evidence
Of course they can't give away expensive cancer drugs, there's too much demand for free NHS Viagra. My take: http://notnews.today.com/2008/08/18/drug-firms-deny-pricing-for-profit/
