Generics case settled

Goldshield, one of a number of suppliers of generic medicines being sued for damages by the Department of Health after being accused of illegal price-fixing, has settled with the DoH.

The company has agreed to pay the NHS £4m in full and final settlement with no admission of liability. Goldshield will also co-operate with the DoH in connection with continuing civil claims against other companies.
