I don't normally post but thought I would pass this on - then we can all add comments to it - people are pooh poohing one comment that says 'don't pay' by arguing that you can not stop giving the necessary treatment to people but that is exactly what is happening but the public don't realise!

jimh111 has pointed out that Concordia are publicly saying their business is going towards bankruptcy.

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.
