You will be able to get cost data from the Prescription Pricing Division - see http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/body/ppd or http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ma... for an example of what data is available.

Their refusal to provide cost information was not handled correctly, so you could request an internal review - see http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/help/unhap... or http://foiwiki.com/foiwiki/index.php/Sec...
