It is called the PPRS - Pharmaceutical Price Regulation Scheme .. supposed
to *limit* the amount that pharmaceutical companies can make out of (sorry,
from) the NHS. The main area where drug companies have flexibility to set
prices and achieve increased revenue is in new products, 'thus providing a
significant incentive for the early introduction of new products' according
to a 1994 report to the Commons health select committee.
