ASDA has pledged to sell cancer drugs on a not-for- profit basis following a similar scheme for IVF.
The supermarket giant is calling on rivals to follow its lead and end price mark-ups on all cancer drugs prescribed privately.
The move could save cancer sufferers thousands of pounds on treatments not available on the NHS.
The lung cancer drug Iressa will be sold by Asda for ?2,167.71 for 30 tablets.
Asda pharmacy boss John Evans said: ?Our not-for-profit price will makes cancer treatment more accessible.?

Do they have any plans to sell other type of drugs, E for a start ?

Could do with a decent supplier that wont disappear

Its not strictly NONPROFIT.
Theyre selling pills AT COST, so whilst asda makes sweet fa on all sales of cancer medication it doesnt address the fact that its several ?k still heading for "Big Pharm" whose cost output is a mere ?0.0000003 for 30 tablets and a return of ?2167.71.

Understandibly RnD costs money but not anywhere close to ten orders of magnitude in medicine sales.
