Description

Tim Astill of the National Pharmaceutical Association describes new measures that mean people will need a doctor’s prescription for such products as travel sickness remedies, cough preparations, etc. He believes the reason for this is that the Department of Health has been panicked into deciding how to apply the powers afforded by the Medicines Act of 1968. Male interviewer not identified.
