The latest episode of Not The NHS Again examines the UK’s recent trade agreement with the US.
Hosted by Doctors’ Association UK (DAUK) GP co-lead Dr Steve Taylor it looks at how the deal could fundamentally reshape the price of medicines, with profound consequences for patients and the future of the NHS.
Joining Dr Taylor are Tony O’Sullivan from Keep Our NHS Public and Diarmaid McDonald from Just Treatment
The discussion explores concerns that changes to long-standing pricing protections could significantly increase drug costs, placing greater pressure on the health service and limiting access to life-saving treatments.
They explain how pharmaceutical lobbying, reduced pricing safeguards, and changes to the way medicines are assessed and funded could weaken the NHS’s ability to secure affordable treatments.
