Have you heard of the Innovation Bill...

... (otherwise known as the Saatchi Bill). Introduced by Lord Maurice Saatchi, the Medical Innovation Bill will help doctors innovate new treatments and cures for cancer and other diseases.

I read about this in the Telegraph last week. Wondered if Max Pemberton, who wrote the article & writes their medical column, might be worth contacting? Maybe he can be persuaded to write something on the same issue affecting thyroid patients?

Very good idea

If you go to his website, the article is linked from there.

Hi Lyn,

I contacted Dr Skinner about all this some time ago and he wrote to Saatchi as did I. I felt that the bill should cover all medical dilemmas.

Thanks, Lyn. I hadn't heard of the bill and I certainly support anything which gives "nowhere else to go patients" hope of a cure or longer life.
