Hi philippa

i was going to post a very similar article. it makes very interesting reading although the article i read did say it was "5" yrs away from clinical trials . will that maybe be enough time for NICE to refuse it as soon as it comes out??? I wonder.

I thought it was brought into being to give approval for new drugs, not the gatekeeping they are doing now.
