Cost of Prescription Drugs: Discussion (Resumed)
9:30 am
Mr. Shaun Flanagan:
Products are launched in Spain. In the unpatented market, Spain is not necessarily any cheaper than elsewhere. Companies have very tight pricing windows that they try to apply across the whole of Europe as far as they can, particularly at launch. Spain is not in the first wave but it is one of the earlier wave countries. I am not too sure we have data that are readily to hand.
