NHS Prescription Services produces the Drug Tariff on a monthly basis on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care. It’s supplied primarily to pharmacists and GP practices.
The Drug Tariff outlines:
- what will be paid to pharmacy contractors for NHS services provided either for reimbursement or for remuneration
- rules to follow when dispensing
- value of the fees and allowances you will be paid
- drug and appliance prices you will be paid

You can view the Drug Tariff 3 working days before the 1st of each month.
The PDF format of the Drug Tariff can be downloaded and used offline (for example on a smartphone or tablet).
The electronic Tariff requires a continuous connection to the internet. There are no page numbers and the format is different to the PDF. Any reference to page numbers in the electronic Tariff should be cross-referenced with the PDF.
For updates to the Drug Tariff see Pharmacies, GP practices and appliance contractors news.
