Following the 1999 PPRS agreement, a joint assessment by the Department of Health and the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry (ABPI) of the scope, pace of change and practical impact of competition in the supply and use of branded medicines for the NHS took place. The results of this study will be available to both the Government and the pharmaceutical industry in considering the future direction of policy on the PPRS.
