October 2024 Category M prices announced
Tuesday 1st October 2024
The Drug Tariff Category M pricelist for October 2024 has been published on the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) website.
The new October Category M prices include an adjustment for margin of -£9m per quarter, resulting from the combination of:
- An adjustment informed by the latest results from the margin survey of independent pharmacies
- An adjustment to correct DHSC’s error in the July Category M prices
Category M prices also reflect movements in the underlying market (i.e. movements in buying prices of medicines). These are systematic and not subject to negotiation.
