NHS agrees new drug sales deal with global pharmaceutical groups
The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry, the drugmakers’ trade body, said it supported “this tough deal” even though the agreement would continue to restrict pharmaceutical companies’ sales to the NHS.
Drugmakers have been critical of the government after the tax on excess sales that surpass the threshold rose to 26.5 per cent this year from about 5 per cent of total UK revenues.
Some US groups left the voluntary scheme in protest as a result of the increase to the rebate while others said it had led them to rethink their presence in the UK.
