For unbranded generics the Government relies on completion to keep prices down which generally works well and has led to low prices of these medicines. We alert the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) when we believe that competition does not work. In the case of liothyronine, the CMA is currently investigating Concordia\u2019s potential abuse of its dominant position to overcharge the National Health Service for liothyronine.<\/del><\/p>

In primary care community pharmacies are incentivised to source products at the lowest possible cost by allowing them to retain the medicines margin (the difference between what the NHS reimburses a pharmacy for a product and how much the pharmacy purchases it for) up to £800 million in England. In secondary care, competitive tenders ensure value-for-money to the NHS.<\/del><\/p>

NHS England is not responsible for approving medicines. The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) is responsible for ensuring that medicines and medical devices work and are acceptably safe. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence makes recommendations for the National Health Service on whether medicines and other treatments represent a clinically and cost effective use of NHS resources.<\/ins><\/p>

A list of medicines licensed by the MHRA for the treatment of thyroid conditions is attached. The list is split into two sections because thyroid conditions can be split into either those associated with an overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism), or an underactive thyroid (hypothyroidism).

Since 2013, NHS England has been responsible for commissioning healthcare in all prisons in England. However, there are five prisons where primary healthcare services are commissioned by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ). In these five prisons some secondary healthcare services, including substance misuse and mental health, are commissioned by NHS England.<\/p>

Local Health Boards are responsible for commissioning healthcare services in public sector prisons in Wales.<\/p>

In the past 10 years, the Department has paid Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) a total of £16,016.40 in non-grant funding for help in implementing additional strategies targeted at tackling health inequalities.<\/p>

The table below shows the top five individual medicines and chemicals<\/del> that have shown the highest increase in cost<\/ins> price <\/del> over the last 10 years for Net Ingredient Cost (NIC) per prescription item and NIC per quantity<\/del>. Prescription medicines/chemicals<\/del> have only been included where there was prescribing in both 2006 and 2016.<\/p>

For any medicine listed, it does not necessarily mean that the price has increased. For example, the cost per prescription item will be higher if the quantity being prescribed per prescription item has increased.<\/ins><\/p>

This is based on Prescription Cost Analysis (PCA) data. PCA data is based on analysis of all prescriptions dispensed in the community i.e. by community pharmacists and appliance contractors, dispensing doctors, and prescriptions submitted by prescribing doctors for items personally administered in England. PCA data do not cover drugs dispensed in hospitals, including mental health trusts, or private prescriptions.<\/p>

<\/p>

Costs vary over time due to numerous factors including medicines going off patent and becoming available generically, unlicensed medicines becoming licensed medicines, shortages, the level of competition for generic medicines, as well as centrally agreed pricing schemes such as the Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Department is working closely with the Competition and Markets Authority on a number of investigations into unwarranted price rises of unbranded generic medicines. Where companies have breached competition law, we will seek damages and invest that money back into the National Health Service.<\/p>

NHS Digital data shows that the number of National Health Service staff (full-time equivalent) working in Mental Health and Learning Disability trusts increased by 4,295 from July 2013 to July 2017, of these 2,156 are professionally qualified clinical mental health staff.

Protection against measles is provided in the combination measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR).<\/p>

The latest England<\/del> vaccine coverage figures for the United Kingdom<\/ins> (January to March 2017) show that uptake of one dose of MMR vaccine at two years was 91.7% and at five years was 95.4%, exceeding the World Health Organisation\u2019s elimination target. Uptake of two MMR doses at five years was 88.1%.<\/p>

<\/p>

In November 2016, a measles and rubella elimination strategy group was established to oversee the development of a United Kingdom-wide Measles and Rubella elimination strategy. This strategy will focus on sustaining very high coverage of MMR in children below five years of age and on providing opportunities for MMR catch-up to older population groups at risk for measles and/or rubella. Public Health England (PHE) continues to work with others to supply information for health professionals and the public on the benefits and risks associated with MMR.<\/p>

<\/p>

PHE and NHS England work closely with providers at a local level to target specific communities where uptake of the MMR vaccine is known to be poor.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4067", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Brine"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Winchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Steve Brine"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2017-09-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "true", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "previousAnswerVersion" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/757686/answer/previousversion/11365", "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4067", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Steve Brine"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Winchester"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Steve Brine"} } , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2017-09-13T15:11:29.407Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ], "questionFirstMinisteriallyCorrected" : [{"_value" : "2017-09-15T14:52:33.827Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "17"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Health"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2017-09-05", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Measles: Vaccination"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what the immunisation rate is for measles; and what steps the Government is taking to improve measles immunisation coverage.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/318", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for John Spellar"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Warley"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "John Spellar"} ], "uin" : "8870"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/754729", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/754729/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The requested data is not provided before 2013 as the NHS Business Services Authority only holds prescription payment data for a period of 60 months, at which point it is destroyed in line with their records management policy. Also this coincides with NHS England becoming responsible for commissioning community pharmacy services from April 2013.
