answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2020 answer text <p>The costs of branded medicines are controlled by the 2019 Voluntary Scheme for Branded Medicines Pricing and Access and the statutory scheme for branded medicines.</p><p>For unbranded generic medicines the Department relies on competition 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 United Kingdom can increase to help secure the availability of medicines for UK patients.</p><p>We continuously monitor overall movements in changes in prices of medicines through various methods including data from suppliers using the provisions in the Health Service Products (Provision and Disclosure of Information) Regulations 2018. However, it is too early to assess the full financial impact on the National Health Service and pharmacies in light of COVID-19.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 24/06/2020 12:36:02 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
