The truth about Tamiflu?

Data access is matter of trust

The UK Faculty of Public Health strongly supports the BMJ?s<sup> </sup>call for mandatory disclosure of raw data of all trials cited<sup> </sup>in drug licensing applications and marketing claims.<sup>1</sup><sup> </sup>
We see this as a first step towards a position in which only<sup> </sup>external independent trials published in peer reviewed journals,<sup> </sup>with full access to raw data, should be allowable when seeking<sup> </sup>a licence or marketing a product. This would require international<sup> </sup>agreement by health technology regulators.<sup> </sup>
Interpreting the evidence base for healthcare planning and commissioning<sup> </sup>is a key public health function. Full disclosure and openness<sup> </sup>to scrutiny of evidence on efficacy and safety are crucial if<sup> </sup>the pharmaceutical industry is to maintain the full trust and<sup> </sup>confidence of patients, practitioners, policy makers, and the<sup> </sup>wider public.
