    The troubles of Indian pharma companies abroad raise questions about the domestic drug regulator. Although Bottle of Lies, a book about the quality problems plaguing generic drugs, focuses on medicines intended for American consumers, the real and continuing victims of the failings described in the book are consumers in developing countries, including Indians. In May 2013, soon after the erstwhile Ranbaxy Laboratories admitted in an American court to selling adulterated drugs, journalist Katherine Eban published a gripping 10,000-word account of the saga in Fortune magazine. But the story left Eban wondering if Ranbaxy was an isolated case. Could there be more rotten eggs, she asked, given the United States Food & Drugs Administration’s (FDA) lax policing of overseas manufacturers? Bottle of Lies is the result of the multi-year investigation that followed.

    Engaging with general practices during inspections gives valuable insight into their experiences. Feedback shows that although inspection reports highlight the areas of concern and risk that need to improve, practices want to know more about how to actually improve from a rating of 'requires improvement' or 'inadequate'. The Care Quality Commission (CQC) selected 10 practices throughout the country that had each made significant improvements from their initial inspection to their most recent, and whose overall rating had improved. These 10 case studies highlight some clear actions that other practices can use to help them learn and improve.

    The creation of a national network of medical examiners (MEs) was recommended in the Shipman inquiry and was alluded to in the Mid-Staffordshire and Morecambe Bay public inquiries. The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Health, Lord O’Shaughnessy, confirmed in October 2017 that a national system of medical examiners will be introduced from April 2019. The ME reforms set out in the 2009 Coroners Act will be implemented nationally in two phases. By April 2019, NHS trusts should set up non-statutory schemes, based upon the national pilots (particularly in Leicester, Sheffield and Gloucester), funded in part from cremation form fees, in preparation for the commencement of a statutory scheme in 2020/21. A National Medical Examiner will be appointed, reporting directly to the National Director of Patient Safety.
