Speeches
7 September - Medicines for Children


Ian Hudghton (Verts/ALE ), The intention of this proposed regulation is laudable. It makes sense to improve the treatment of children by increasing the research, development and approval of medicines which are suited to the metabolism of the child.

I regret that amendments tabled by my Group were not adopted. These would have made it a requirement of the approval mechanism to consider whether significant therapeutic benefit over existing treatments had been achieved.
