APPENDIX 4
Letter from the Chief Executive Prescription
Pricing Authority to the Clerk of the Committee (GD 9B)
AVAILABILITY OF GENERIC DRUGS TO THE NHS
I take this opportunity to supply the Committee
with the information requested in questions 27 and 28. The attached
schedule shows the proprietary products and their generic equivalents
listed in the November 1999 manufacturer catalogues and the ABPI
Data Sheet Compendium for the basket manufacturers.
12 November 1999
SUBJECT: AVAILABILITY
OF GENERIC
DRUGS TO
THE NHS
This additional information is supplied in response
to the request by the Health Select Committee on Thursday 4 November
1999. This submission does not include details of commercial relationships
between generic and proprietary manufacturers as the PPA does
not hold this information.
There are three manufacturers, APS, Cox and
Norton, included in the "basket suppliers" used to calculate
the drug tariff reimbursement prices of generic medicines.
All three companies predominantly manufacture
generic products.
