   Hi Martin
   Additional sources of medicine price data:
   NHS Generic Pharmaceuticals electronic Market Information Tool (eMIT)
   The data that will be provided includes an estimate of NHS
   hospital-sector annual usage from English trusts for the product
   selected, the average (weighted arithmetic mean) price paid for that
   product over the last four months of the period and a measure of the
   variance of that average.

Dear Colleagues

I have tried to prepare some simple comparisons of prices in different
markets and in different levels of the supply chain ... but cannot
find much source material from the referenced website. The database
part of the site does not work with the two browsers that I use ...
Chrome and Mozilla. Everything else on the site seems to be "survey
report" conclusions with very little of the basic data accessible.

What am I doing wrong ... can anyone help?
