@ slwnoris - 10.05.18 - 10:24am Don't you find it strange the charity's cover up how large drug companies profit from the research your donations help pay for. So when a drug company say how it there research that put the drug cost at the level they charge, this is something which should be believed with extreme doubt. nope |

@ slwnoris - 10.05.18 - 10:34am As for discount for volume, it has always in most supply business been a hard fact the larger the order the better the price, and there no bigger buyer of drugs than the NHS, I wish I could find out which health system buys the most drugs, I would think the NHS would be one of the biggest. And I don't remember his name but does anyone remember that man who brought the rights to a drug and out the price up from pound to hundreds of pounds over night, think he ended up in court on un related charges think he was a yank, I maybe wrong on the yank. he is going to prison |

Discount for volume works in an open market. Why bother giving a discount to a single buyer who has no choice but to buy from you. Unless they're able to go elsewhere you can charge them anything, especially when it comes to the government. |

Governments generally cannot match the efficiency of the private sector because of the type of people that government jobs attract. If they were any good they'd be able to command a salary in the private sector and be rewarded on a performance basis.

The problem is they don't have to worry about keeping NHS business. This is the problem when you have single payer.

@ bambi99 - 10.05.18 - 11:01am I'd investigate who owned the companies raking it in first There's nothing to investigate, they should be able to charge whatever they want. They're not holding people hostage to buy from them. |

If the NHS stopped dishing out paracetamol, the price in the supermarket would rocket.
