access to these drugs - licensed in 11 other countries - could add 25 years to the life expectancy of people with cystic fibrosis (including an excellent small person of my acquaintance) but the NHS is currently in a price war with the big pharma (Vertex) that make them
I know the government are a bit busy right now - but this is exactly the kind of thing they could be giving time and attention to if it wasn't for Br*xit. Imagine. #RevokeArticle50Now
