Abstract
  • In this briefing, we look at how much the health service spends in total on medicines, both generics and branded medicines, based on publicly available data. In recent years, spending on branded medicines has been constrained by the Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme a new instalment of which is currently under negotiation. We also explore policies used to try to control growth in costs and the choices policy-makers are likely to face in the future.
