Please note: Community Pharmacy England has submitted price concession applications for a number of other medicines affected by pricing issues this month and will issue further updates as soon as they hear back from the Department.

Notes 

There are no prices that rolled over from the previous month.

No additional endorsements are required for price concessions. A price concession only applies for the month it is granted; any prices agreed for concessions requested late in the month will roll over into the following month. 

DHSC announced in the April 2024 Drug Tariff  its decision to manage retained buying margin by limiting concessionary prices. From April to June 2024, DHSC will be seeking to recover c£5.4m per month from the community pharmacy sector by squeezing price concessions.
