OFT test not appropriate says Society

摘要

The House of Commons Health Select Committee has been told by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society that commercial competitiveness is the wrong test to use when measuring health services. Following a request from the committee for a memorandum on the Office of Fair Trading's pharmacy report, the Societ wrote that the OFT principle - that competitive markets to which there are no barriers to entry genrally serve the interests to consumers best -should not apply where the National Health Service is the main customer for the majority of communit pharmacy services.
