For the full list of price concessions granted for September 2025 so far please visit our price concession hub page here.

There are no prices that rolled over from the previous month.

Please note: Community Pharmacy England has submitted price concession applications for a number of other medicines affected by pricing issues this month. We will issue further updates as soon as we hear back from the Department. 

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.  

Next Steps  

Pharmacies should continue to report any problems obtaining a Part VIII product at or below the stated Drug Tariff price, using the online feedback form on our website. Please include full details of the supplier and price paid for any products sourced above the Drug Tariff price. We will investigate the extent of the problem and, if appropriate, submit further price concession applications to DHSC. Any prices granted by DHSC, will only be agreed by Community Pharmacy England if they are supported by the reports received by our team. 

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.
