Table 1 notes
-
Table 1 sets out aggregate information about measured sales subject to the affordability mechanism. It includes information received on parallel imports and information from audited annual sales reports and unaudited quarterly sales reports provided by members of the 2019 voluntary scheme and the statutory scheme.
-
The baseline for measured sales in respect of the statutory scheme and parallel imports has been calculated in accordance with annex 4, paragraph 1 of the 2019 voluntary scheme.
-
Measured sales is defined in the glossary of the 2019 voluntary scheme for branded medicines pricing and access as “sales of scheme products by scheme members, statutory scheme sales and parallel import sales, but excluding exemptions from measured sales”.
-
Figures for the 2019 voluntary scheme reflect any audited sales reports received. Annual totals from 2019 onwards for the statutory scheme reflect any audited sales reports received.
Measured sales in any particular period reflects all relevant scheme members in either the 2019 voluntary scheme or statutory scheme during that period. For example, several companies moved from the statutory scheme to the voluntary scheme at the start of 2020. Those companies’ measured sales will appear under the statutory scheme in 2019 but the voluntary scheme in 2020.

Table 2 notes
Table 2, which is derived from unaudited quarterly sales reports and any audited annual sales reports received from members of the 2019 voluntary scheme, sets out aggregate information showing eligible sales covered by the scheme payment and the resulting scheme payments.
There are 2 columns of information:
- column 1: aggregate eligible sales
- column 2: resulting aggregate scheme payments due for the respective periods
Note: eligible sales is defined in the glossary of the 2019 voluntary scheme as “sales of scheme products but excluding exemptions from eligible sales”. The percentage payment applies to these sales. Eligible sales excludes certain types of sales, including the first £5 million of sales by a medium-sized company and new active substance (NAS) sales. Both of these sales categories are, however, included in measured sales and, therefore, the calculation of the overall sum to be repaid across all scheme members.

General notes
Note 1: the information in all tables is that held on the Department of Health and Social Care’s database at 16 November 2020 (corrected).
Note 2: totals may not sum due to rounding.
Note 3: all tables are subject to future correction such as where audited data replaces best available data and will be updated at each quarterly publication point to reflect the latest available information. The audit and reconciliation arrangements are set out in paragraphs 4.26 to 4.31 of the 2019 voluntary scheme. The statutory scheme audit requirements are set out at paragraph 23 of the regulations.
Note 4: This document replaces the previous version which was published in December 2020. Following continual data checks, this replacement contains corrections to some of the information.
