Adjusted Prices Review and Part 7 Changes
Published: 31/03/25
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 April 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 shortages.
You can review the list of current Adjusted Price on the website as of today the 3rd April.
There has also been one line deleted from Part 7 of the Scottish Drug Tariff this month:
Co-amoxiclav 125mg/31mg/5ml oral suspension sugar free 100 ml
The new updated version of Part 7 is now available for April 2025.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the us on 0131 467 7766 or email pharmacy.services@cps.scot.
