Sorry. I have just realised how to post. Bit foggy🤔. Concordia named on BBC5 live about T3 putting price up by 6,000%. The body investigating have said that the production has not become more tricky. So maybe. Just maybe something might be done about this scandal.

Thanks for posting this. It is a scandal. I went to a meeting arranged by a voluntary geoup near me and Dt Toft was speaking. He talked about this and how Britain is completely ‘ripped off’ (Dr Toft put it more eloquently) while in France for example, it is so much cheaper and a fair price.

jimh111 has pointed out that Concordia are stating that their business is on the verge of bankruptcy. (or stashing funds offshore - more like, cynical old me)

Please write to The Project Director of this case at the CMA – Ronan Flanagan

'ronan.flanagan@cma.gsi.gov.uk'

Tell him that it is widely known amongst the Thyroid Community that Concordia are on the verge of bankruptcy, or alternatively are hiding their profits offshore.

Tell him that if the CMA does not progress this case very urgently, there will be no money or company to pursue and the NHS will not be reimbursed.

Also if that situation occurs, the price of Liothyronine will remain highly inflated.

Not what you're looking for?
