Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Vera Baird (Labour), on Monday, 17 June 2002, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 105 members in total.
NICE AND MACULAR DEGENERATION
That this House is appalled by the provisional recommendation of the National Institute of Clinical Excellence that elderly patients suffering from macular degeneration be refused photodynamic therapy until after they have gone blind in one eye; regards such a suggestion as penny-pinching and arguably contrary to medical ethics; and calls on NICE to think again.
