For unlicensed and imported medicines not contained within Part 7S of the Drug Tariff, please see the circular and supporting documents below.
Prescriptions should be endorsed both electronically and on paper with the special price, fixed non Part 7S handling charge and any other expenses. We have recently seen a number of items where these endorsements have not been applied electronically. Where this is the case, Practitioner Services will not allocate fees if electronic information is used for payment.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact the Pharmacy Services Team on 0131 466 3540.
Part 7U
Part 7U (Updated 01/03/2021)
After consultation with CPS, the Scottish Government has introduced a new section to the Drug Tariff — Part 7U. See circular PCA(P)(2013)32 for more details. This new section lists pack sizes and prices for products without a formal marketing authorisation which are available. The new section has been introduced to facilitate transparent reimbursement of the costs of these products. It will also remove any need to seek authorisation from the NHS Board before these products are supplied.
