Introduce the Off-patent Drugs Bill so doctors can use cheap drugs more freely

Petition Details

Health Minister Burt talked for over half an hour to stop a vote that would allow doctors to prescribe old, cheap drugs for uses other than originally intended. Non patent drugs can be made for as little as 5p and could be used on various illnesses. This bill would mean more lives could be saved.
