What the papers say: Lansley warning on NHS
Reform or die 'within years', health secretary Andrew Lansley has told the NHS. NHS funding is reaching crisis point, Mr Lansley warns in the Telegraph. The war on drugs is not working, according to a high-profile global commission, which includes Kofi Annan and Sir Richard Branson. The Guardian reports on the panel's call to end the criminalisation of drugs. The Independent reports that 70 per cent of schoolgirls aged 14 to 15 suffer a mild iodine deficiency. The Telegraph reports that a drug for a particularly hard to treat form of breast cancer will soon be in clinical trials. Health supplements are a waste of money, finds an NHS report covered by the Telegraph.
