HC Deb 06 December 1990 vol 182 c182W
Mr. Hardy

To 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 Bottomley

The 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.
