ACTION PLEASE - Red Tape Challenge

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are writing to make you aware of the UK Government's "Red Tape Challenge" which invites public views on the THMPD legislation and the manufacturing and availability of Over The Counter (OTC) traditional herbal medicines. You can view and contribute independently to the Government’s Red Tape Challenge here:http://www.redtapechallenge.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/medicines-traditional-herbal-medicine/ 

The Alliance for Natural Health (ANH) has launched an initiative to compile information from practitioners and manufacturers/suppliers, which they intend to use as a record of public views. You can read about the initiative here:http://anh-europe.org/news/anh-starts-data-collection-for-uk-medicines-regulator’s-red-tape-challenge

The ANH have also prepared a short, 3-page questionnaire that you can fill in online here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dFJ2aVc2Rk1XZTBsbnQybVVJa2wwVWc6MA

This is an opportunity not to be missed! The deadline for submissions is 12th April 2012, so we urge to you to take action by contributing to either or both of these forums in anticipation of better freedom of choice and availability of traditional herbal medicines.  PLEASE ALSO FORWARD THIS TO ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO MAY BE INTERESTED AND URGE THEM TO TAKE PART.

Thank you for taking action! 

With kind regards
