The regulators have added 10 new products to the ‘Drugs for which Discount is Not Deducted’ (DND) list from Thursday (01 June).
Community Pharmacy England on behalf of its members had made further applications to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA), resulting in the inclusion of 10 new products in the DND.
More than 610 products are granted DND status following checks made by Community Pharmacy England’s dispensing & supply team over the past 3 years to ensure fair reimbursement for our members.
The DND list is updated monthly by the DHSC and includes grouped and individual items. Individual items are separately listed in Part II of the Drug Tariff. Any items covered by the ‘Group Items’ heading are not listed again individually in Part II.
“We will continue our work to assess whether other drugs and appliances fulfil the current DND entry requirements under either the ‘Group’ and ‘Individual item’ criteria and make applications to NHSBSA and DHSC, on behalf of our members accordingly,” said Community Pharmacy England.
Ten products added to DND list on 1 June 2023:
- Ampicillin 250mg capsules
- Chlortalidone 50mg tablets
