What the petition asks
No government minister or advisor to be allowed to hold shares in pharmaceutical, medical industries or others that supply the NHS, or to be employed by or work on a project funded by these industries. This should apply to all advisors including those that sit on SAGE, NERVTAG and JCVI.
Links between Ministers or their Advisors to pharmaceutical industries, medical supplies companies or other companies supplying the NHS could be influenced by their other interests, that may result in decisions that are not in the benefit of public health.
