E-drug: Drug pricing data - help wanted
---------------------------------------------
The Australian Productivity Commission PC) has been asked by the
Australian government to carry out a survey of the prices of
important drugs in Australia. The perception in some sections of
Australia, particularly the pharmaceutical industry, is that the
prices here are too low. The PC wishes to carry out international
comparisons with countries with similar economies to Australia. I
believe that they are trying to do a good job and use sound
methodology. If anyone has access to data in their countries that
they can make available to the PC I'd be grateful if they will let me
know and I will pass on contact details.
[Please could you send information directly to David, and David
please could you supply e-drug with a summary of the information.
Thank you.
