E-drug: Prices of subsidised drugs (cont)  
---------------------------------------------

Here in Canada the Patented Medicine Prices Review Board monitors  
prices in the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and Italy in  
order to compare them to Canadian prices for drugs that are still  
under patent in Canada. I'm not sure if these European prices that  
the PMPRB collects are publicly available. Those who are interested  
could go to the PMPRB web site and look around
