Ok, so I know how the PPA operate with regards to pricing scripts and paying pharmacies, but does anyone know how they work out the cost to the GP? A couple of examples:
There is only one listing for each strength of perindopril in the drug tariff, so that would be charged at £11.36 per 30 to the GP.
Dispersible aspirin 75mg has two listings: 100s cost £1.87, 28s cost £1.52 (=£5.42 per 100 ex28). So how do they work out how much to take from the GPs budget - do they just take it from our endorsement, or do they use an average of the two prices, or do they do it in some other way?
