Vioxx Compensation (EDM820)

Vioxx Compensation

EDM number 820 in 2007-08, proposed by Timothy Farron on 30/01/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Manufacturing industries, Medicine and Patient rights and complaints.

That this House is concerned that, in comparison to their American counterparts, British victims of the arthritis drug Vioxx have not had access to compensation; recognises that Vioxx has ruined the lives of hundreds of British citizens through increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke; calls for money to be made available to mount a legal challenge against the makers of Vioxx, Merck and Co; celebrates that Merck and Co have agreed to settle 95 per cent. of outstanding Vioxx claims in the US; and calls upon Merck and Co to offer a compensation package to victims of the drug in the UK.

This motion has been signed by a total of 60 MPs.
