Removed Lines from Parts 2, 3, & 4 of the Scottish Drug Tariff
Published: 02/07/25
The new updated version of Part 7 is now available for July 2025.
Based on evidence, there are several lines that have stabilised which you can view here with their revised price for July 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 2nd July 2025.
