Close legal loophole allowing NHS Price cap rules to be bypassed. Criminalise it

Petition Details

Several unscrupulous companies have made millions by legally bypassing the NHS price cap rules, by dropping the brand names of medicines and giving them their generic name. This has caused astronomical price hikes, and patients are being refused their medicines because the NHS cannot afford them.
