Department of Health

Does the hon. Gentleman believe that, given the problems with Vioxx, which is just one of the COX-2 inhibitors, there is reason to look carefully at other such inhibitors? Some 1 million prescriptions were issued for Vioxx, but 3 million prescriptions have been issued for other COX-2 inhibitors that are still being prescribed.
