The NHS were reluctant to prescribe statins in the first place, but were "persuaded" to do so by a big lobbying campaign (wonder who was behind that?). Then doctors were wooed by drug reps to lower the prescribing limit from 6.6 or over to 5.2. Now the NHS have found a way to get rid of statins, and as a tax payer, I am delighted. |
