NHS Prescription Services produces the Drug Tariff on a monthly basis on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care. It’s supplied primarily to pharmacists and GP practices.
The Drug Tariff outlines:
- what will be paid to pharmacy contractors for NHS services provided either for reimbursement or for remuneration
- rules to follow when dispensing
- value of the fees and allowances you will be paid
- drug and appliance prices you will be paid

You can view the Drug Tariff 3 working days before the 1st of each month.
The PDF format of the Drug Tariff is a duplicate of the printed Tariff. This can be downloaded and used offline (for example on a smartphone or tablet).
The electronic Tariff requires a continuous connection to the internet. There are no page numbers and the format is different to the paper Tariff. Any reference to page numbers in the electronic Tariff should be cross-referenced with the PDF or paper Tariff.
For updates to the Drug Tariff see Pharmacies, GP practices and appliance contractors news.
For information regarding the printed Drug Tariff see End of the paper Drug Tariff in England.
