Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)
Lovforslaget giver regionerne mulighed for i en 3-årig forsøgsordning at indgå aftaler med lægemiddelvirksomheder om fortrolige prisrabatter på medicin, der bliver solgt via apotekerne. Lovforslaget tager afsæt i regeringens aftale med Danske Regioner om regionernes økonomiaftale for 2025. Formålet er at skabe nye muligheder for at få ny, innovativ medicin med offentligt tilskud hurtigere ud til gavn for borgerne. Virksomhederne betaler den samlede rabat til regionerne. Det skal i forbindelse med de årlige økonomiforhandlinger aftales, hvordan den besparelse, borgerne ville have opnået, hvis de havde betalt og fået beregnet tilskud på baggrund af den forhandlede fortrolige pris frem for den officielle listepris, skal udmøntes i sundhedsvæsenet.
