Petition Force new rules on pharmaceutical companies to help develop new medicines and make them more readily available

More details

The current pharmaceutical industry in the UK is out of control. many companies will work on cures for countless diseases, but if they do not see any way to make money then they abandon projects.

This petition is for forcing them to put all details of abandoned projects into public domain, without any copyrights or patents to allow other researchers, such as universities, work on improving them.

This could allow many new medicines to be developed, and distributed through the country. This could help fund universities and give the NHS affordable drugs for patients.
