Some 115 preparations have been excluded from reimbursement under the GMS since 1 January and almost 140 have been readmitted. In addition, 94 preparations were deleted from the list of drugs being supplied, because they are no longer on the market here, and 65 items were removed because they are preparations for hospital use only.
