Improvements to the price concession system

Following significant concerns raised by pharmacy owners about the unsustainable level of prices imposed by DHSC in second half of 2022, it was agreed that an urgent review of the price concession setting system would take place.

Since this announcement, we have sent a strong and clear message back to Government that pharmacy owners cannot continue to subsidise the NHS medicines bill. Following the review of the concessionary price process in 2023, a package of measures has been developed to improve the system. These include:

• all products granted a concessionary price will be classified as ‘Discount Not Deducted’ for the month(s) in which they are on concession
• any agreed prices for concessions requested on or after the 23rd of the month will be rolled over to the following month
• a retrospective increased payment system for price concession lines where data subsequently identifies that the original price concessions granted were inappropriately low. Further information regarding this concession ‘top-up’ mechanism can be found here.

Please see our latest funding and reimbursement short video for further information on all the recent changes to the price concession process.
