Medicines Supply and Price Concessions Resources
Published on: 18th October 2023 | Updated on: 12th May 2026
While the concessions system aims to mitigate the impact of supply or pricing challenges on pharmacy businesses, the persistent instability in medicines supply continues to be a major cause of concern for pharmacy owners, their teams, and their patients. This page provides clarity on how the concessions system operates and the procedures when pharmacy owners report price increases to us. It also contains resources that pharmacy teams can use to educate patients and prescribers about medicine supply issues.
Informative resources for pharmacy owners
Community Pharmacy England has developed a dashboard showing the changes to the number of monthly price concessions over time and split by Drug Tariff category.
Please visit our Price Concessions Hub page to see the latest price concession updates and for the online reporting tool to notify us if a product is only available to purchase above Drug Tariff price.
