Currently, pharmacies receive a fixed reimbursement from the NHS for each dispensed medicine, forcing them to source drugs at or below these set prices. When market prices exceed NHS reimbursement, the medication is added to the government’s price concessions list. This May, the number of medicines on this concessions list has surged to 188, impacting millions of households across England.
