In response, ABPI Chief Executive Richard Torbett said: 

“This is an important report which the ABPI will carefully consider alongside the Government’s response, and we will work with other organisations on where we can be part of the solution. 

“Every single medicine used by the NHS goes through strict assessments for safety and efficacy and is monitored continuously, but the experiences of patients should always drive improvement.”
