The growth rates of this expenditure item in France, Italy and Germany in the period 2000-2012 are in line, while they are higher in the United Kingdom and Spain. In the entire time span considered (1990-2012) Italy has the lowest growth rate among the countries taken into consideration, with values among the lowest even if we refer to the last time period (2000-2012).<\/p>\n<p>A first piece of evidence is that the unsustainability of pharmaceutical expenditure is denied by the data.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nursind.it\/nursind2\/pdf\/logo_cergas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"308\" height=\"176\" \/>Pharmaceutical assistance has made an important contribution to health care accounting. The incidence of pharmaceutical expenditure on NHS expenditure, including drugs purchased by healthcare companies, decreased from 18.2% in 2011 to 15.3% in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>The second very interesting data on medicines is the consistent variation in the expenditure mix, increasingly generated by purchases by healthcare companies and less by distribution through pharmacies open to the public. Medicines purchased by public healthcare companies today represent 47.5% of the total expenditure for medicines paid by the NHS (against 18.2% in 2001). If we consider that drugs purchased from accredited private structures are not counted, it can be stated that more than half of the expenditure does not pass through pharmacies (or passes through the DPC). The trend is partly shared by other countries: many new drugs are launched on the hospital market. But to this is added the all-Italian peculiarity of alternative forms of drug distribution: in 2014 DD and DPC accounted for approximately 37% of all expenditure for drugs purchased by healthcare companies.<\/p>\n<p>Extract from OSFAR no. 35<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cergas.unibocconi.it\/wps\/wcm\/connect\/f1d5d1ed-4083-46b9-ab7d-b09d14a574a7\/Report35_Executive_Summary.pdf?MOD=AJPERES&amp;useDefaultText=0&amp;useDefaultDesc=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Read Report 35 OSFAR \u2013 DRUGS OBSERVATORY<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Related news: AIFA 14\/07\/2015.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.agenziafarmaco.gov.it\/it\/content\/sfide-il-futuro-dei-sistemi-sanitari-e-analisi-dei-trend-della-spesa-farmaceutica-nei-paesi-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Challenges for the future of healthcare systems and analysis of pharmaceutical expenditure trends in OECD countries and in Italy<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oecd.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">OECD<\/a>:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oecd.org\/health\/Health-Brochure.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">OECD WORK ON HEALTH<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.agenas.it\/images\/agenas\/comunicati\/luglio2015\/comunicato_GIMBE_AGENAS.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AGENAS-GIMBE, Memorandum of Understanding against waste and inefficiency<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.quotidianosanita.it\/studi-e-analisi\/articolo.php?approfondimento_id=6469\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Italy: Expenditure on GDP at 8.8% below the OECD average.
