The Government is committed to making this country one of the best places to grow old in.<\/p>
Across the health and social care system in England there are already systems in place that are able to listen to the voices of older people and respond to their concerns, such as through Care Quality Commission Inspections, Healthwatch England and via the policy that all older and vulnerable people have a single named local general practitioner that can help them navigate health and care.<\/p>
We have previously considered the merits of introducing an older people\u2019s commissioner. However, we believe that the duties that would be covered by such a role are covered by work elsewhere in the system.<\/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>
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>
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>
