This Circular PCA (P) (2008) 22 draws the attention of NHS Boards and Community Pharmacy Contractors to an amendment to the Drug Tariff in respect of the discount clawback rate for Pt 7 items.

To compensate for the effect of lower Pt 7 prices from Oct 2008 on contractors the discount clawback rate is accordingly being reset to 1% in respect of dispensings  from the 1 October 2008 onwards until further notice. The SG policy intention is to maintain contractor income this year pending further negotiations following completion of a community pharmacy cost of service enquiry which is currently underway.
