Hello Everyone,
The government are holding a consultation on some proposals to change the way the drug tariff in England operates, with plans to improve the way it works and create a more up-to-date and accessible system that can help the health system.
The drug tariff is the list of medical treatments and devices which are available for prescription on the NHS through a pharmacy and this consultation is focused on the Part IX section for medical devices. This includes blood glucose monitors, lancets, test strips, insulin pens and some continuous glucose monitors like the Freestyle Libre 2 and Dexcom One.
As part of this consultation, they have asked for evidence on additional areas the department are interested in – including waste – and it would be very helpful to hear of your experiences so we can add them to our submission.
Please see a summary of the call for evidence questions on waste below/in the poll with some prompts as a guide. We are also happy to answer additional questions you may have.
The consultation ends on 1st December 2023 and we will be compiling responses on Wednesday 29th November for our submission. Please share your thoughts in the poll listed and in the thread.
