March 2025 Part 7 Publishing

Latest News2025Feb-25
Written By Community Pharmacy Scotland

Published: 28/02/25

Pharmacy storage shelves filled with various prescription and over-the-counter medications in organised packaging.

Due to the day on which the 1st March falls this year, we will publish the March edition of Part 7 on the website slightly later than usual, early next week. 

We are also currently finalising the final round of Adjusted Prices for February and so this is likely to be agreed and published Monday 3rd March 2025.

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.

You can also contact us on either 0131 467 7766 or at pharmacy.services@cps.scot.
