Campaigner wants drug trial results made public
Joan Wade, of Rowlands Road, Worthing, has launched a petition on change.org calling on the Department of Health and the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) to publish all drug trial tests.
Ms Wade believes the use of statins – a drug used to treat people with high cholesterol – over a two-year period left her with severe side effects, including irreversible muscle wastage.

“Every time we go to a GP we don’t know if that drug prescribed is good for us.”
