LONDON, October 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Eisai Limited, the licence holder of Aricept(R) (donepezil hydrochloride) and Pfizer Limited, its co-promotion partner, welcome the announcement by the House of Lords that they have refused the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE)'s application for leave to appeal against the Court of Appeal verdict handed down earlier this year.

In May this year the Court of Appeal found in favour of Eisai, and ruled that the process by which NICE decided to restrict anti-dementia medicines for newly diagnosed patients with mild Alzheimer's disease was procedurally unfair and that it put stakeholders at a significant disadvantage in their ability to engage fully with the process.

What else could you do with US$150,000? That's the sum the Republican National Committee famously spent on wardrobe and makeup for Gov. Sarah Palin.

Contrast that with a registered nurse who can be outfitted in scrubs for just US$10 for a hospital shift. The same US$150,000 would outfit 15,000 RNs in scrubs, notes Geri Jenkins, RN, co-president of the California Nurses Association/National Nurses Organizing Committee which sponsored the site, http://www.DressLikePalin.com.

How disgraceful at a time when so many Americans are struggling to pay their medical bills or keep their homes, Jenkins noted.

Palin's Tahari skirt suit alone = 60 RN scrubs.
