Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, when he plans to publish the most recent metrics report for the 2019 voluntary scheme for branded medicines pricing and access; and if he will place a copy in the Library.

The metrics report for the 2019 voluntary scheme for branded medicines pricing and access (VPAS) will be published according to standard timelines. VPAS metrics are published twice yearly following the VPAS Operational Review meeting with the Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry. The latest metrics were published on 11 August 2023 and are currently available through an internal Departmental collaboration tool, which is shared with stakeholders in the industry.

There are currently no plans to place a copy of the report in the House library.
