Drug Pack sizePrice concession
Quinine sulfate 300mg tablets28£2.01

Please note any rolled over prices can be adjusted upwards if we receive reports from pharmacy owners to indicate suppliers’ selling prices have increased. The review can be requested at any point during the month.

Price concession roll over process

As part of a package of measures developed to improve the price concession system, DHSC implemented a process from May 2023 to roll over certain concessionary prices to the following month.

The roll over process will apply to any products where agreement is reached on the final prices granted by DHSC for any price concession requests submitted late in the month (on or after the 23rd of the month) by Community Pharmacy England.

Pharmacy owners will be able to see the lines that have rolled over on our price concessions page here. For more information on the roll over process and other recent price concession improvements, see our funding and reimbursement short videos.

Following discussions between Community Pharmacy England and the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) regarding medicine pricing issues reported by pharmacy owners, the Department has today [03/03/2026] announced the following final list of price concessions for February 2026.

These prices will apply to prescriptions submitted for payment for the dispensing month of February 2026.

Please note: These prices do not apply to March 2026 prescriptions as we are still working with DHSC to confirm price concessions for March. The first update for this month will be published as soon as we receive a response from the Department.
