Gottlieb Discusses Opioids and Lays Out Vision

Conclusion Commissioner Gottlieb ended his speech by recognizing that “we haven’t seen meaningful, voluntary actions,” when it comes to opioids and to that end, the FDA is planning to host a summit with CEOs and other senior representatives of internet stakeholders, academics, and various advocacy groups to identify technology gaps and possible solutions. Both the House and the Senate are working on a variety of bipartisan proposals that could be included in the next legislative package addressing the opioid epidemic. The House Energy and Commerce Committee has the third in its hearing series on this topic scheduled for April 11th, during which the Committee will consider more than two dozen bipartisan bills. The Senate Finance committee and the Senate HELP committee are both involved in finding a resolution as well and are still working on solidifying hearing dates.       Related StoriesGottlieb Discusses Opioids and Lays Out Vision - Google it's Your TurnOPDP Sends First Untitled Letter of 2018House of Representatives Holds Two-Day Hearing on Opioids
