Hi there,
found this element difficult to do myself as we dont offer an out of hours service at our branch. the out of hours payment is for the time of the pharmacist as it would be out of the normal hours of working. I ended up calling our local PCT to find out. They told me we used to have an out of hours service but ended up not being cost effective as ended up costing them more to pay the pharmacist or branch to stay open. Also now there are 100 hour pharmacies, this must be to cover those out of hours as usually they would need the local PCT's permission for opening hours. Best bet is to call your local PCT! Ive just babbled on a bit there so hope that made sense!
