LONDON, March 5, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- BMI Industry View: The UK medical device market continues to be one of the strongest performers in the region, with growth of around 7% per annum forecast to 2018. This growth could however be tempered slightly if the Department of Health's efficiency programme is successfully implemented, as it aims to radically change the pricing, supply chain and procurement of medical devices in the NHS with the introduction of bar-coding and a single price comparison mechanism throughout the country amongst the initiatives on the cards. The programme will start with a couple of NHS trusts and the target for complete
roll out is 2017.
