Exclusive: Health secretary says he will not let patients be ‘ripped off’ by pharmaceutical companies amid standoff
Wes Streeting has intensified his battle with drug companies over the price of their products, saying he will not let the industry rip off British patients or taxpayers by signing up to their demands.
The health secretary on Sunday accused pharmaceutical companies of being “shortsighted” and undermining their relationships with the government after the two sides failed to come to an agreement last week.
