Community pharmacy drug reimbursement reform

We’re seeking your views on proposals to reform some of the drug reimbursement arrangements for community pharmacy in England.

Community pharmacies are paid by the NHS for each drug they dispense against an NHS prescription. The payment arrangements are outlined in the Drug Tariff.

The arrangements generally work well, but improvements can be made to ensure that community pharmacies are paid fairly and that the arrangements provide value for money to the NHS and taxpayers.
