§ Mr. HardyTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what is the price approved by his Department for the drug Zimovane manufactured by the company Rhone Poulenc; and how much is paid for that drug in other European countries.
§ Mrs. Virginia BottomleyThe United Kingdom system controls the overall profit that companies make from the sales of all relevant products to the NHS; it does not approve the price of individual medicines.
The United Kingdom price of Zimovane is £27.44 for 28 tablets. We do not hold price details for European countries generally.
