star this property answer text <p>The United Kingdom has well established systems for controlling costs and ensuring we get value for money for spending on medicines. The UK has two mechanisms for controlling overall spend on branded medicines: the voluntary scheme for branded medicines pricing and access (VPAS) and the statutory scheme for branded medicine pricing. Both schemes apply UK-wide.</p><p>The VPAS caps sales of branded medicines to the National Health Service, with the cap growing by 2% each year. Sales made above this cap are paid back by pharmaceutical companies to the Department.</p><p>All new medicines and significant licence extensions in England are assessed by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) which makes recommendations to the NHS on whether they are clinically and cost-effective. The NHS in England is legally required to fund medicines recommended by NICE within 90 days of a final recommendation being made, and offers a unique proposition for global life sciences companies, as with a single commercial deal a company can have access to a market of over 55 million people.</p><p>For unbranded generic medicines, the Department relies on competition in the market to keep prices down. This has led to some of the lowest prices in Europe and allows prices to react to the market. In an international market this ensures that when demand is high and supply is low, prices in the UK can increase to help secure the availability of medicines for UK patients.</p>

Since then, significant progress has been made to improve genomic testing and care. This includes the establishment of a national network of seven NHS Genomic Laboratory Hubs to deliver testing as directed by the National Genomic Test Directory, which outlines the full range of genomic testing offered by the NHS, including tests for 3,200 rare diseases and over 200 cancer clinical indications.</p><p>The NHS now offers several world-leading services. It is the first health care system in the world to systematically offer whole genome sequencing (WGS) as part of routine care, and it has launched a rapid WGS service for acutely unwell children with a likely monogenic disorder and a world-leading National Fetal Exome Sequencing Service.</p><p>The NHS also has an important role in delivering a comprehensive clinical genomic and counselling service for patients of all ages and their families, who have, or are at risk of having, a rare genetic and genomic condition, including inherited cancer.</p><p>Last year, in October 2022, NHS England published the first NHS Genomics Strategy, ‘Accelerating Genomic Medicine in the NHS’, which outlines the future vision for embedding genomics in the NHS over the next five years.</p>
