Please note, due to ongoing discussions with Public Health Scotland (PHS) & Scottish Government the final round of Adjusted Prices for September 2025 are likely to be agreed and published later today, Wednesday 1st October or tomorrow Thursday 2nd October.

This will result in the October Part 7 file being agreed and published slightly later than the 1st of the month - after September has been fully agreed. 

As always if you have any queries or issues with Drug Tariff lines which are not available at or below the listed price, please use our Shortage Reporter.
