The pharmaceutical price regulation scheme
Article Abstract:
The British government influences the pharmaceutical market through a mixture of micro and macroeconomic regulations. Such micro policies include declassifying medicines from prescription to nonprescription and decreasing the number of drugs eligible for National Health Service reimbursement. The macro-regulatory initiative, the Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme (PPRS), regulates price increases, profits, R&D expenditure and advertising budget. Analysis of the PPRS reveals a number of weaknesses, including lack of accountability, lack of impact analysis and uncertainty regarding its alignment with EU law.
