The Voluntary Scheme for Branded Medicines Pricing, Access, and Growth (VPAG) sets out how the prices for the majority of branded pharmaceuticals are controlled in the UK. The process applies across all four member nations and it allows manufacturers to freely set the list price of medicines, but with measures to contain NHS pharmaceutical spending.
The statutory scheme is the default UK mechanism for controlling NHS expenditure on branded health service medicines supplied by companies that do not participate in the voluntary scheme.
The ePACT2 system is a UK NHS Business Services Authority data and analytics platform used to analyse community prescribing and dispensing activity. It supports medicines optimisation, prescribing surveillance, budget management and contract monitoring, rather than prior approval or reimbursement authorisation.
