Excellent, more wasteful government supervision and likely bans on medicines and supplements in order to justify (and grow) a department's budget. If they were serious about reducing harm, they'd look for ways to significantly reduce cigarette smoking while allowing alternate, far safer nicotine delivery mechanisms. There's so many other things the Ministry of Health could pursue that would provide a far great health bang for the buck.

I laid in the hospital for a week last year, not with an ignorable amount of pain, and none of the pain medication they gave me did anything.

Is there gonna be an investigation of cases of patients in pain because the doctors are too afraid to give some decent painkillers?

I'm glad to hear that the Ministry is now increasing it's staff. Also ! It is about time that we had our investigators in America and Europe to monitor what these people are saying is safe. I do not trust any one of them. They are only interested in making MONEY and control of our people.

Blimey! Bigger government is not going to help. It would mean more bureaucracy and more paperwork resulting in more people dying because of approval delays for life-saving medication.
