If I were a giant pharmaceutical company,

with £100m a year to spend, I'd totally buy myself a few politicians.

The Health Secretary also confirmed that there would be a two-year catch up campaign starting in Autumn 2009, for girls up to 18 years. The routine programme could cost up to £100m a year and the catch up programme could cost up to £200m in 2009/10 and 20010/11, but the Department of Health aims to negotiate a reduction in vaccine price during the procurement process.


...get a lot of drugs approved for sale in the UK with that kind of money.

    I'm sorry but not surprised. How many young girls have already died horribly from anaphylactic shock and seizures? How many have been made ill but survived?

    I wonder how many parents would do this to their children if the doctor was required to disclose that their daughter could literally drop dead right in the office?

    I don't have children so I generally don't offer opinions about their care but I can't understand how people believe it is possible to raise their daughters to be sexually availabe to ever Tom, Dick and Harry without suffering serious consequences. I don't understand how they think this is such an all encompassing good that they are willing to risk their children's lives in a futile attempt to accomplish it.

    It just makes me horribly sad.
