Adjusted Prices Review and Part 7 Changes
Published: 06/05/25
As a part of our work with the Scottish Government and Public Health Scotland, we regularly raise lines of concern and work to secure adjusted prices for these. We also work with them regularly to review lines which have now stabilised and remove these as appropriate.
Based on evidence, there are several lines that have stabilised which you can view here with their revised price for May 2025. These are no longer treated as Adjusted Prices; however, we will continue to monitor these lines, so we ask you to please continue to use our Shortages Reporter to report any that are of concern. This allows us to continue to negotiate with Public Health Scotland and raise any issues around under tariff lines and shortages.
You can review the list of current Adjusted Price on the website as of today the 6th May.
There has also been two lines deleted from Part 7B of the Scottish Drug Tariff this month:
Coal tar extract 2% shampoo 125 ml
Coal tar extract 2% shampoo 250 ml
The new updated version of Part 7 is now available for May 2025.

Last week, Community Pharmacy Scotland (CPS) welcomed a visitor from Norway to Edinburgh. Birgitte Lloyd, President of the Norwegian Association of Pharmacists was in Scotland to learn more about the Scottish Community Pharmacy contract and services, as well as build on her own knowledge of Scottish culture.
