Adjusted Prices Review: October 2025 Update
Published: 02/10/25
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 October 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 the 1st October.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the us on 0131 467 7766 or email pharmacy.services@cps.scot.
