PRICE cuts of up to 20% on
branded drugs in Britain are
planned, as part of a consultation
announced last week by the UK
Department of Health.
The proposal applies to medicines
which aren’t currently covered by
the UK’s voluntary Pharmaceutical
Price Regulation Scheme (PPRS),
with Health Minister Lord Howe
saying “we cannot simply spend
more and more on drugs”.
A new price adjustment would
apply on sales of branded drugs
to the National Health Service,
applying the price adjustment to
average selling prices in hospitals,
and removing a range of current
exemptions from the scheme.
The current PPRS was negotiated
in 2008, and is set to be superseded
on 01 Jan 2014.The above article was sent to subscribers in Pharmacy Daily's issue from 24 Jun 13 To see the full newsletter, see the embedded issue below or CLICK HERE to download Pharmacy Daily from 24 Jun 13
