This Bill would require the label on every NHS prescription item dispensed by community pharmacies and other NHS-funded providers to show the current Drug Tariff value. The aim is to make the price the NHS uses for reimbursement visible to patients at the point of dispensing, with related administrative or IT changes possible to support it. It is framed as a measure to improve price transparency for NHS prescriptions.
The Bill is at the first reading in the House of Commons (25 October 2022), and would need further readings and committee scrutiny to progress.
