460. Deputy Sean Fleming asked the Minister for Health in view of the high prices charged for medicines by the pharmaceuticals companies, and the varying prices charged across the European Union by the same companies for the same medicines, if he will raise this matter at a Council of Ministers meeting to see if European Union Government procurement can work collectively to get the best possible price for European Union taxpayers by combining the purchasing power of all European Union states, rather than allowing the individual companies to pick off countries on an individual basis, and charge them different prices, based on what they believe they can get away with; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
