§ 16. Ms WardTo ask the Secretary of State for Health what representations he has received regarding increases in drug and medicine costs. [110868]
§ Ms StuartWe have received various representations. In recent months, many have been about sharp increases in the price of generic medicines to the National Health Service. We very much share the concern about these. We have given the NHS an additional £90 million to help meet the cost and have commissioned a fundamental review of the generics market.
