Bill: More FDA Funding, Responsibilities

The Boston Globe has more on the Kennedy (D-MA)/Enzi (R-WY) bill:

The Food and Drug Administration would get needed funding to shore up drug safety and patients and doctors would learn more about the risks of new drugs under the most sweeping overhaul of the FDA proposed in 30 years.

The proposal, which would fund many of the changes by increasing fees charged to drug makers , would also give companies better guidance about what would be expected of them if safety problems arose after drugs reached the market.
