Trade bodies and transparency campaigners say work on transparency must not be reversed
The Ethical Medicines Industry Group and Sense About Science - a co-founder of the ALLTrials campaign - have written a joint letter, in support of the Health Research Authority's work to bring about greater transparency in clinical trials to the industry.
In a statement, the two bodies say the recent Court has shown "that there are people who want to reverse its recent attempts to do so."
There is a danger that politicians and others will see this backward-looking view as significant and representative of industry. It isn’t.
