Scottish industry manifesto

The Scottish branch of the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry has published a manifesto (PDF 690K) to call on election candidates to recognise the pharmaceutical industry's contribution to the health and wealth of the nation.

It calls for an end to postcode prescribing, tax changes to make Scotland a more attractive place to invest, and a reversal in the trend of budget cuts for medicines.
