Links to Insurance Industry
Peter White has consulted for the insurance industry. He did not disclose his financial conflicts of interest to the participants of the PACE Trial, of which he was the lead investigator. David Tuller has written critically about the links the PACE trial investigators have to the insurance industry.

Prof White resigned from clinical practice just before he was compelled by an order of the court to release the raw data from the PACE trial.
