High Spending An estimated £71,500 was spent last year on the pharmaceutical industry, according to the president of the British Medical Association (Sir Douglas Robb). “I would not under-rate the moral problems implicit in the very existence of the pharmaceutical industry because there is a difference between professional and business ethics,” he said. “However, I think the most intensive scrutiny will show it is sound and functions properly in all of its essentials.” The industry was characterised by the dynamic situation by which it had functioned. So long as this existed the physician-phar-maceutical industry relationship would remain essentially sound, he said.
