This article is part of the Pharma_Portal project of Spinwatch. |
The Associate Parliamentary Health Group (APHG) is according to its website "an all-party parliamentary subject group dedicated to disseminating knowledge, generating debate and facilitating engagement with health issues amongst Members of Parliament. APHG comprises members of all political parties, provides information with balance and impartiality, focuses on local as well as national matters, and is recognised as one of the preferred sources of information on health in Parliament.'
The APHG was launched in November 2001, following discussions with Ministers of Government, the Department of Health, the NHS Executive, and senior Parliamentarians, on the basis that Members of Parliament need as much high quality and impartial information as possible to fulfil their crucial role in the UK's health programme."

Funding
A March 2010 article in the Financial Times provided a critique of All-Party groups for "taking money from private companies regularly without any obligation to declare how the funds are used". It singled out the Associate Parliamentary Health Group, which it said:
- receives £168,000 a year in “associate membership fees” from 26 health-related and pharmaceutical companies. These include AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer. The money helps to fund “extensive online facilities”, including an exclusive database of localised health data, which is available to MPs and paying associate member companies.[2]
Secretariat
The secretariat and other administrative services to the APHG was supplied by Networking for Industry (NFI) a not for profit organisation.[3]
According to Companies House, NFI's name was changed to Policy Connect in December 2007. [4] Policy Connect's group manager, Sally Percy holds a parliamentary pass. [5]
Sponsors
The register in September 2010 disclosed that a £7000 associate membership fee received from each of the following: Sanofi-Pasteur, Grunenthall, Alliance Boots, Novo Nordisk, Takeda, Bristol Myers Squibb (registered July 2010) and from Abbott Laboratories, WCI, Sanofi Aventis (registered August 2010).
