Minister intervenes in row over drugs to treat Alzheimer's

Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian : "James Meikle, health correspondent

He wants to ensure that they recognise the social implications of withdrawing official support for such drugs, even if they do not regard them as clinically cost-effective."
