Lapdog or Watchdog

What do you think of the drug regulatory authority in your country?

The view of Mind, a British mental health charity..........


Mind believes that consumers have a right to expect full and impartial information about the potential risks and side effects of prescription medication. This requires a robust regulatory framework to ensure that this information is not only publicly available but also acted upon promptly.

We need a drug regulation system

which puts patient safety before commercial pressures and cost
whose membership and operation is transparent and accountable
which has sufficient legal powers to ensure access to all drug trial information and adequate funding to verify the accuracy of this information
that gives equal weight to patient experience of drugs as it does to information from drug trials.
