Executive Summary
England's Department of Health has given pharmaceutical companies a little more clarity on what the new value-based pricing system might have in store when it confirmed that the National Health Service in England will have to fund drugs that are subject to the new system1. The news could mean fewer barriers than anticipated to the uptake of new medicines. Nevertheless the BioIndustry Association, representing UK biotech firms, warned that the new VBP system could make the UK a less attractive location to launch medicines.
