ADVICE OF NICE

Early day motion 253, tabled 12 January 2000 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 23 members.

That this House welcomes the guidance of NICE that zanamivir (Relenza) should not be prescribed because it has little effect on flu symptons; deplores the crude opportunism of Glaxo Wellcome in exploiting the present flu season by attempting to pressurise the Government to reject the advice of NICE; and urges the Government to resist the covetous propaganda of the pharmaceutical lobby and to continue to make their decisions on the basis of impartial scientific evidence in the best interest of patients.

Signatures by party: Labour 20, Labour/Co-operative 2, Liberal Democrat 1.
