Drug giants' legal threat to the NHS for using cheap drugs

Drug giants' legal threat to the NHS for using cheap drugs Two of the world's biggest drugs firms are threatening to sue the NHS to stop it using a treatment nearly 70 times cheaper than their medication.

Novartis and Bayer made the threat against 12 health boards in Cumbria and North-East England which have advised doctors to use a different treatment for a devastating eye condition.

Doctors have accused the pharmaceutical giants of trying to 'dictate' which drugs they can use. The Daily Mail
