Extract from columns Columns WA103 and WA104 of Lords Hansard Written Answers Thursday, 18th October 2001.
Baroness Howells of St Davids
asked Her Majesty's Government: What was the
outcome of the review under Article 4 of the Council Directive 89/105/EEC, of
the statutory maximum price scheme
for generic medicines dispensed in the National Health Service in the
community.[HL842]
Lord Hunt of Kings Heath:
We are today announcing our decision, taken in the light of consultation with
interested parties, to roll forward, unchanged the maximum price scheme for
generic medicines. The scheme will remain in place pending decision on
longer-term arrangements for the supply and reimbursement of generic medicines.
The statutory maximum price will continue to be set on a United Kingdom-wide
basis.
