Concessionary Prices

Concession for reimbursement prices in September 2023

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 September 2023 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 Community Pharmacy England (formerly 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.

The reimbursement prices HSCBSO will apply are as follows (Updated: 20th September 2023):
