Talk:Automatic Generic Substitution

I believe that this page is staunchly anti-generics. It cites and makes references to pages that promote brand name prescriptions. This article only discusses the negative impacts of this proposed law rather than both positive and negative impacts. Aaron Wheeler (talk) 23:52, 4 October 2010 (UTC)Gwydon

The page is heavy on quotes from the various vested interests which, thanks to the process of consultation, were able to defeat the planned automatic generic substitution. Producers of branded drugs naturally do not want generic substitution. Doctors' and patients' groups have no incentive to reduce the snowballing costs of healthcare. The savings made by generic substitution would, at minimal risk, free up NHS money to spend on saving lives elsewhere. Sadly the 'stakeholders' who reacted so vigorously to the consultation had no direct interest in doing this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.141.18.83 (talk) 08:36, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
