Reed Smith's Global Regulatory Enforcement Law blog features two posts of interest to those in the life sciences industry, both written by Reed Smith partner Cynthia O'Donoghue. "EU Research Group Condemns EU Regulation for Restricting Growth in Life Sciences Sector" discusses the opposition of a lobbying group, led by the Wellcome Trust, to amendments to the proposed General Data Protection Regulation – amendments that they believe could severely inhibit future growth of the life sciences sector in the European Union. "NHS Advocates Selling Confidential Patient Data For Secondary Purposes" discusses the criticism of the UK's Health and Social Care Information Centre and NHS England's new initiative known as 'care.data,' which involves the extraction, anonymization, and aggregation of patient data from GP practices in a central database for sale to third parties such as drug and insurance companies.
