PREFACE
AMENDMENTS TO THE DRUG TARIFF
January 2022
1. In accordance with regulation 89(3) of the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical and Local Pharma- ceutical Services) Regulations 2013 (“the 2013 Regulations”), the Secretary of State for Health as re- spects England and in accordance with regulation 41(4) of the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical Services) (Wales) Regulations 2013, the Welsh Ministers* as respects Wales have amended the Drug Tariff and determinations made in respect of the amendments to the Drug Tariff shall have effect from 1 August 2015.
For England, by virtue of regulation 91(1) of the 2013 Regulations, the NHS Commissioning Board (“the Board”) has been appointed as a determining authority in relation to the pharmaceutical remuneration listed Schedule 8 to the 2013 Regulations (ie types of service remuneration) and remuneration for advanced services. This means that both the Secretary of State and the Board are able to determine remuneration in these areas, although if the Secretary of State determines remuneration in these areas, he is required to notify the Board of his intention to do so before doing so. As part of a phased transfer of responsibilities between the Secretary of State and the Board, the Board will be acting as the lead determining authority in relation to the following Parts:
- Part IIIA
- Part IIIB
- Part VIA
- Part VIB
- Part VIC (up to Pharmaceutical Services (Advanced and Enhanced Services)(England) Directions
By virtue of Part VIE, the Board is also a determining authority for England for the remuneration for enhanced services and acts as the lead determining authority in that area.
The Secretary of State is the sole determining authority for all other Parts.
Part XI, XIVD, XVIIID and XXI are rescinded in this edition of the Drug Tariff.
Before the Secretary of State, NHS Commissioning Board and the Welsh Ministers make further determinations they will consult with such organisations as appear to be representative of persons to whose remuneration the determination would relate and such other persons as they consider appropriate in respect of determinations which relate to persons providing pharmaceutical services, or a category of such services in accordance with section 165 of the National Health Service Act 2006 and section 89 of the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006, regulations made under those sections and under section 164 of the National Health Service Act 2006 and section 88 of the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006.
i) Effective date for all parts except those indicated in (ii) 1st day of the month
ii) Effective date for specific provisions in specified parts N/A
iii) Date of publication 1st day of the month
TO: General Medical Practitioners, Pharmacy Contractors, Appliance Contractors

PREFACE
2. Please note that you are now being supplied each month with the Drug Tariff which incorporates all amendments to date and this will continue until April 2021, when the Drug Tariff will no longer be printed and distributed (please see paragraph 4 for further information regarding these changes to the circulation of the Drug Tariff). All entries showing a change in price are not specifically included in this preface but are indicated in the Drug Tariff by L for price reduction and K for price increase; changes to the text re- lating to code, product description, or the inclusion of a new product are indicated by a vertical line in the margin. 3. While every effort is made to ensure that each monthly publication of the Drug Tariff includes all amendments made by the Secretary of State and the Welsh Ministers to the price applicable to the rele- vant period, the need to observe publishing deadlines sometimes defeats those efforts. Any omitted amendments will be effective from the date on which they came into force, even if publication of the details is unavoidably delayed.
- Functions of the National Assembly for Wales have transferred to Welsh Ministers in accordance with section 162 of and paragraph 30 of Schedule 11 to the Government of Wales Act 2006.

DEFINITIONS
(a) Except where the context otherwise requires, the terms to which a meaning is assigned by the Regulations or the Terms of Service have the same meaning in this Tariff.
(b) The term ‘contractor’ has for Wales the same meaning as ‘chemist’ as defined in the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations 1992 and for England the same meaning as ‘NHS chemist’ as defined in the National Health Service (Pharmaceutical and Local Pharmaceutical Services) Regulations
- LPS chemists will also need to be paid at least part of their remuneration (depending on the terms of their scheme) in accordance with the Drug Tariff, and so at least some references to ‘contractor’ will apply equally to them.
(c) A pharmacy contractor is a person with whom the NHS Commissioning Board (NHSCB) for England and Local Health Board (LHB) for Wales has made arrangements for the provision of pharmaceutical services in respect of the supply of drugs, appliances and chemical reagents.
(d) An appliance contractor is a person with whom the NHSCB for England and LHB for Wales has made arrangements for the provision of pharmaceutical services so far as it relates to the supply of appliances included within Part IXA/B/C of this Tariff.
(e) The term persons includes a body of persons corporate or unincorporate.
(f) The term Pricing Authority means, as the case may require, the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) or the NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP).
(g) The term appliances as used in this Tariff includes dressings.
(h) The term prescription refers to an item on a prescription form or dispensed in accordance with a repeatable prescription.
(i) The term prescription form includes, where appropriate, a repeatable prescription.
(j) The term pharmacy means any premises where drugs are provided by a pharmacist or pharmacy business as part of pharmaceutical services under section 126 (arrangements for pharmaceutical services) for England of the National Health Service Act 2006 and Section 80 of the National Health Service (Wales) Act
(k) Specials are unlicensed medicinal products manufactured in the UK for human use which have been specially prepared to meet a prescription ordered for individual patients without the need for the manufacturer to hold a marketing authorisation for the medicinal product concerned.
(l) Imported products are unlicensed medicinal products sourced from outside the UK under an importers licence issued by the MHRA. These products have been specially sourced to meet a prescription ordered for individual patients without the need for the importer to hold a marketing authorisation for the medicinal product concerned.
In the preparation of this Tariff the Secretary of State for Health and the Welsh Ministers have consulted the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee.
01/2022 Part I
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE SUPPLY OF DRUGS, APPLIANCES AND CHEMICAL REAGENTS

Any drug supplied which is not so included must be of a grade or quality not lower than that ordinarily used for medicinal purposes.
CLAUSE 2 APPLIANCES The only appliances which may be supplied as part of the pharmaceutical services are those listed in Part IXA/ B/C, and Part X (see Clause 4 below), of the Tariff and which comply with the specifications therein.

CLAUSE 5 PAYMENTS FOR PROVIDING PHARMACEUTICAL SERVICES
CLAUSE 5A CLAIMS FOR PAYMENTS
Claims for payment for Wales and England (for England only up until March 2022 (February 2022 prescriptions))
- Paper prescriptions - contractors must:
(a) Endorse prescription forms 1 as required in Clause 9 (Endorsement Requirements) of this Tariff; and
(b) Dispatch the prescription forms to the relevant division of the NHS Business Service Authority: NHS Prescription Services for England, or Primary Care Services (PCS) for Wales: (i) with the appropriate claim form (also referred to as the FP34C form^2 ); (ii) sorted as appropriate; (iii) in a secure manner that enables tracking and tracing of the delivery; and (iv) not later than the 5th day of the month following that in which the supply was made^3.
(^1) For the purpose of Part I of the Drug Tariff, wherever prescriptions, prescription forms or batch issues are

(^3) Where one or more bank holiday occurs within the first five days of the month, dispatch must be secured by
the 6th of that month. Note: for contractors, who use the FP34C on MYS, they must complete and submit it by the 6th of the month including where needed printing the populated FP34C and dispatching it alongside the batch of paper prescriptions.
- Repeat dispensing services - contractors must:
(a) endorse batch issues as required in Clause 9 (Endorsement Requirements) of this Tariff. In addition, batch issues relating to drugs, appliances or chemical reagents which have been dispensed must be stamped with the contractor's stamp and dated with the date on which the items were dispensed.
