Details

The Health Service Branded Medicines (Control of Prices and Supply of Information) (No.2) Regulations 2008 (“the Prices Regulations”) is a statutory scheme that applies to all companies supplying branded medicines to the NHS, which have not joined the Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme (PPRS).

The PPRS regulates prices of branded prescription medicines by regulating the profits that manufacturers are allowed to make on their sales to the NHS.

The Secretary of State for Health has made an amendment to these regulations which came into force on 1 January 2013.
