Useful links to help with the petition on Price Gouging |
Prof. Karim Meeran |
Create a publicly owned manufacturer for off-patent, generic drugs in the UK. This will allow the NHS to makes its own drugs cheaply. |
One solution is to have an NHS version of Civica. Civica is a non-profit charity based in the US which makes generic drugs in the US, and its principles are ones that we should follow within the NHS,
where the service is free at the point of use. The savings would very quickly reach the taxpayer and would also have the economies of scale that the NHS could offer.
