The UK government is seriously considering demands from Donald Trump and big pharma to hike the amount the NHS pays for medicines – and it could run into the billions.
This would represent a big win for Trump’s bully tactics and big pharma shareholders, but pile the pressure on our NHS, and even put the lives of patients at risk.
New research has estimated that inflating drug prices by £1bn a year will cost the lives of 4,500 NHS patients if this means diverting funding from other health services.
The UK government and big pharma are in negotiations right now, so we need to show them where the British public stands on this issue.
