Petition for publicly owned manufacturer for off-patent, generic drugs in the UK

[Babette]

I hope the mods don't mind me posting.

There's a petition to "Establish a national UK manufacturer of essential, off-patent, generic medicines (such as hydrocortisone, liothyronine or insulin) within the NHS. Make these medicines at close to production cost, in order to prevent the unethical practice of price gouging."

It has been posted before, about a month ago, but there's no problem posting again for those members who didn't see it last time.

“This demonstrates the effectiveness of non-profit motivation in competing with industry; an investment of £100,000 has saved the NHS over £50 million each year,”
