This man will be tops in the field as well as in man management.The cost of this could be high as the SAFETY and HEALTH of 60 million folk are at STAKE.The UK government is prepared therefore to spend out for this man the sum of x pounds.Lobbying (the name for giving 1 500 pounds a day to top epidemiologists for doing NOTHING?) by Big Pharma for control over their future products, past products and the smooth running of their enterprise is X dollars.http://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/clientsum.php?id=D000000138 & year=2003

Little x comes out at 158 pounds per meeting attended (once a year?)Big X for one Big Pharma company (pfizer) has consistently come out at over 10 000 000 dollars a year for the past 5 or 6 years peaking at over 25 000 000 dollars for one year (some problems this year for this company?)What do people think of these sort of ball park figures for our SAFETY and HEALTHLaugh or CRY?
