Department of Health and Social Care awarded a contract to PA Consulting Services Limited for support for a review of the Voluntary Scheme for Branded Medicines Pricing, Access, and Growth (VPAG).

The VPAG is a rebate scheme on the pharmaceutical industry that generates income for the NHS and controls the bottom line of the NHS budget, critical to the financial sustainability of the NHS by controlling spending on branded drugs.

The scheme also supports greater and timelier patient access to new clinically and cost-effective medicines and innovation.

The contract value is £99,600.
