The Drug Tariff, a monthly publication, sets out reimbursement prices to be paid to pharmacy contractors for the medicines that they dispense. Whilst we do not look at specific areas of the United Kingdom or specific medicines, we do have arrangements in place to mitigate against rising medication costs for pharmacies, that ensure they are paid enough overall above what it costs them to purchase medicines.
Where prices increase significantly and rapidly, concessionary prices can be granted by the Department to ensure that pharmacy contractors are paid fairly, and can access medicines for their patients, even when market prices increase.
Concessionary prices are set using 'real time' market data provided to the Department under the Health Service Products (Provision and Disclosure of Information) Regulations 2018 on prices and stock levels intended for retail pharmacy businesses in England. This ensures that prices set are reflective of the market and aims to reimburse pharmacy contractors fairly.
For branded medicine such as Actimorph the Department sets maximum list prices which are controlled through the Voluntary scheme for branded medicines Pricing, Access and Growth and the statutory scheme.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what steps his Department has taken to reduce the numbers of deaths from misuse of heroin and morphine in (a) coastal communities and (b) Portsmouth.
Local authorities are responsible for assessing local needs and commissioning drug prevention, treatment and harm reduction services to meet these needs. This includes helping to prevent drug-related deaths from the misuse of heroin and morphine in coastal communities. Public Health England (PHE) supports local authorities to do this by providing advice, guidance and tools.
Locally, PHE is supporting the South East substance misuse network, which includes Portsmouth, to review a range of opportunities to prevent drug misuse deaths including engaging more people at risk in treatment, improving the physical and mental wellbeing of people in treatment, improving access to naloxone, developing local arrangements for reviewing deaths and near misses, and developing drug alert and early warning systems.
Nationally, the Department and PHE have made it easier for drug services to supply naloxone, published updated clinical guidelines for drug treatment and worked with a network of treatment providers to establish good practice guidance on managing drug-related death risk factors and to improve partnership between treatment providers and other healthcare services. Updated clinical guidelines can be viewed at the following link:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that supplies of morphine in Shifa Hospital, Gaza, do not run out.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to ensure that supplies of morphine in Shifa Hospital, Gaza, do not run out.
DFID is closely monitoring the humanitarian situation in Gaza, which remains under significant strain. We are aware of reports that hospitals are facing shortages in medical supplies and medicines. To help ensure hospitals in Gaza can continue to provide essential services we provided £1.5 million for the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) OPTs Appeal in 2018. This funding has helped treat patients in 11 hospitals which are under extreme pressure in Gaza by restocking vital medical supplies including medicines, surgical equipment, and bandages and helping provide physical rehabilitation services for around 4,000 people.

Whilst no conclusions can be drawn from one year’s data, Public Health England is analysing the drug misuse and treatment datasets to identify possible reasons for the change in drug misuse deaths reported in 2013. This analysis is due to be published in a statistical bulletin in 2015 and will help inform any possible future actions.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what assessment they have made of the reasons for the 32 per cent rise in the number of deaths from heroin or morphine abuse between 2012 and 2013; and how many of the 765 people who died as a result of heroin or morphine abuse...
