So even as late as 2003 GlaxoSmithKline were still denying there was a problem with Seroxat in children. Yet in 1989 the company had trial data demonstrating an eightfold increase in suicide risk. Can Benbow say that he didn't know? Who hid this evidence from him? Or was Benbow lying on national television?
So what will become of Alistair Benbow? Will he be criminally prosecuted? Will his defence be 'I never knew'?
You have to admit that this is the kind of stuff that makes Hollywood blockbusters.
With so many people knowing a drug can cause suicide in children why were so many kept in the dark?
There are many questions that need answering, many paths that need 'impartial' investigation. Heads should roll for this huge corporate cover-up - not only at GlaxoSmithKline but at the MHRA too.
