Pharmacies in Wales, Suspension of some Community Pharmacy Contractual Framework (CPCF) activities
Due to ongoing negotiations between Community Pharmacy Wales (CPW), Welsh Government and the local health boards, some CPCF monthly activities have been paused and cannot be claimed on NECAF.
- Dispensing Compensation Mechanism
Continue claiming as normal by the end of the following month
- Collaborative working
Continue activity and claiming as normal on NECAF
- Workforce Enabler Funding
Continue collecting workforce data to allow for retrospective submission once the 2025/26 CPCF is finalised and NECAF form re-opens.
- Continuity – WP34C
Stop activity
- Quality and Safety – Carbon Literacy
Stop activity Quality and Safety – WNWRS
Contractors are encouraged to continue validating their Welsh National Workforce Reporting System (WNWRS) data. This may reduce the burden of retrospective data entry once the final contract and associated requirements are agreed. However, please note that any activity undertaken at this stage is discretionary and may not be reimbursed if the final 2025/26 agreement excludes this as a funded element.
