CCG FOI 682 – Rebates (Pharmaceuical products/medicines/drugs)

Responded to: 21st October 2016

I would like to request the list of pharmaceutical products/medicines/drugs that your CCG currently holds rebate agreements for.

If possible, can you also provide the corresponding rebate start dates please?

I understand that the financial details of the rebates would be considered commercially confidential but have been advised that the existence of a rebate with a product does not fall within a section 42 exemption.

So, I am only requesting the product names, and if possible the rebate start dates.

Please see attached document

Please note we are unable to provide you with information regarding rebate start dates as they are commercially sensitive under Section 43 of the FOI Act ‘Commercially Sensitive’
