Not so secret!

UK Big Pharma is taking a tough line in negotiations on drug pricing, offering to cut the £11bn NHS drugs bill by roughly half the amount the Government is looking for.

In secret negotiations industry leaders have offered to cut the price of patented drugs by under 5 per cent, significantly less than the 10 per cent to 12 per cent that the Government is understood to be targeting.
