Changes to Discount Deduction Arrangements
Monday 5th September 2022
Action for Contractors: Please read the PSNC update, Briefing and FAQs document to understand the impact of the new arrangements. These changes will be taking place from October 2022.
New arrangements for the application of discount deduction to community pharmacy payments have now been agreed.
The new discount deduction system will see the current single scale split into three groups: one each for generic medicines, branded medicines, and appliances. Separate fixed deduction rates have been determined for each group.
From October 2022, discount deductions will begin transitioning to these new arrangements.
