Attention is paid to the mechanisms that restrict spend on pharmaceuticals, including the role of the National Institute for Clinical Evidence (NICE) in England and its equivalent in Scotland. Finally, key current or forthcoming events that may affect the environment are identified and explained. Latest market figures are provided where possible.
