PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION

Early day motion 134, tabled 23 November 2004 by Mike Hancock (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 23 members.

That this House believes that consumers have a right to expect full and impartial information about the potential risks and side efects of prescription medication; further believes that this requires a robust regulatory framework to ensure that information is not only publicly available but also acted upon promptly; and, in the light of continuing consumer disquiet about Seroxat and similar concerns about other medicines, calls for an urgent, full, independent and open review of the UK drug regulatory system.

Signatures by party: Labour 15, Liberal Democrat 5, DUP 1, Independent 1, UUP 1.
