Transitional Payments Set to Zero from February

Contractor reminder that the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) determined that from February 2023 onwards, Transitional Payments would be set to zero. This is reflected in the February Schedule of Payments received by contractors going forwards.

In discussions with DHSC, PSNC had rejected the change to the Transititional Payments on the grounds that any further reductions in payments would be impossible for community pharmacy contractors to manage financially. The reduction was then ultimately imposed without agreement.
