PQS declaration: delay in opening of portal
The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) has announced that there will be a delay in opening the Manage Your Service (MYS) portal for the 2021/22 Pharmacy Quality Scheme (PQS) declarations. Instead of opening on Monday 31st January 2022, the declaration window will now open at 3pm on Thursday 3rd February 2022.
To ensure contractors have as much time as possible to submit their claims, PSNC and NHS England and NHS Improvement have agreed that the PQS declaration window will be extended and will now close on Wednesday 2nd March 2022 at 11:59pm. The timing of the PQS payment will not be affected by this change; contractors claiming for a PQS payment will still receive their payment on 1st April 2022.
