It’s a change to private providers, not the NHS cost. The NHS cost has already been agreed (not sure for how many years though).

In that case, the NHS (assuming they don’t have a separate agreement) will have to reduce the amount of it they dispense.
Our health spending is pretty much capped each year: If the price of a drug rises, then the impact/£ ratio will eventually shift that money towards treating something else.

NHS have their own agreement with the company they don’t buy retail so it doesn’t really matter what trump thinks. They have a contract in place and the pharmaceutical company can’t change the contract halfway through. I don’t know how long the contracts for though.
