Mr. Mellor

The price paid for medicines prescribed by their proprietary name and dispensed by pharmacy contractors is the manufacturer's list price. These prices are published from time to time in theBritish National Formulary, a copy of which is in the Library. Where no list price is available the price paid is the price which the pharmacist has had to pay.

The net ingredient cost of prescriptions written using the names of the products in respect of which information is requested and dispensed by pharmacy contractors in 1987 is contained in a list which has been placed in the Library.
