Concessionary Prices
Concession for reimbursement prices in August 2019
The DoH has instructed HSCBSO to apply reimbursement prices as detailed below to all prescriptions dispensed in Northern Ireland for the following products. The prices will be effective for all prescriptions dispensed in August 2019 only. The published prices for these Part 1 products will continue to be shown both in the NHS dictionary of medicines and devices (dm+d) and the Northern Ireland Drug Tariff.
Concessionary prices are set by DH England following discussions with PSNC. Northern Ireland will apply all concessionary prices granted by DH but does not currently have the authority to amend these or issue additional concessionary prices.
This may not be a complete list and HSCBSO will update whenever new information arrives.
