Responding to the Department of Health's announcement that the Government and the pharmaceutical industry have made an agreement on some parts of the new Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme, David Pruce, Director of Practice Quality and Improvement at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain said:

"The pharmaceutical industry makes a big contribution to the UK economy and to patient care and we are fortunate to have such a vibrant research-based industry in this country. The Society believes this is a winning situation for all concerned - the National Health Service (NHS), patients and the industry. It is good news for the NHS as it will reduce the overall cost of medications and it is good news for patients as they should have faster access to new innovative medicines."
