Quotes

"Yes, WE are clear – shame the PCT/OOH/NHS Direct and media are not clear about what to do. I am fed up getting the backlash at the surgery for patients being sent round the houses and being given conflicting advice – it's then dumped back with us to sort. Give us local funding to see/treat/sort our own patients pleaseeeeeee" – Name and address withheld
Nothing "better underscores the urgency and importance ofr the RIAT proposal than the list of abandoned trials that accompanies it" , comments an accompanying editorial in The BMJ on 'Restoring the integrity of the clinical trial evidence base'
"The government is collaborating actively with international partners on prevention, detection and research, and is taking every practical step to ensure that the UK is prepared to limit the internal spread of a pandemic and to minimise health, economic and social harm as far as possible."
