Category M Quarter 2 2010/11
Quarter 2 still not published
Dr Allan Tennant reports
16th of June 2010
Historically Category M of the Drug Tariff, has been published at the end of the first week in the month preceding the next quarter.
Recently this publication schedule appears to have lapsed and become unpredictable.
Previously NHSRxS has told DDA Online that publication delay is because the Department of Health has failed to tell NHSRxS to publish or delays in receiving the new data.
The PSNC are also not carrying the price changes yet.
However the NHSRxS website carried the following story yesterday.
