Proceeding contribution from Brian Iddon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 December 2005. It occurred during Estimates day on Department of Health.


Department of Health

I must challenge that statement. Evidence was given at a meeting in the House last night that packages of parallel traded products contained drugs that were not the same as the drugs made by the professional company that had discovered them. Such products contained impurities that could cause serious side effects and in some cases death in the patient.
