For the full list of price concessions granted for April 2026 please visit our price concession hub page here.

Notes  

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.  

Top-up payments will be made for certain products if data from the Margin Survey identifies that the original concession prices granted by DHSC were inappropriately low compared to the average pharmacy purchase price for the month. In such cases, a top-up will be triggered automatically and paid on a quarterly basis. More information on retrospective top-ups can be found here.
