The Government has been clear that it wants to change the focus of the health and care system onto prevention and Ministers have also set out an ambition for local pharmacies to play a stronger role in helping people stay well in the community. The Department has committed to publishing a Green Paper on prevention that will set out how these plans will be achieved in more detail. An assessment specifically focusing on the potential merits of nationally commissioning more public health services through community pharmacy has not been undertaken.<\/p>
An updated list of the 1,413 pharmacies found to be eligible for the pharmacy access scheme was published in January 2018, this is publicly available and can be found at the following link:<\/p>

The structure of fees and allowances does not allow payments just for dispensing to be isolated. These payments do not include the medicine margin that community pharmacies earn as part of the payment for essential services, which is paid through reimbursement within the drugs\u2019 bill.<\/p> Enhanced services are locally commissioned. As such they are funded outside of the national CPCF and the Department does not hold the information sought.<\/p> Time period<\/p><\/td> Total essential services funding2<\/sup> /£<\/p><\/td> Total national CPCF funding (essential and advanced services) less medicines margin/ £<\/p><\/td> Funding for essential services as a proportion of total national CPCF funding (essential and advanced services) less medicines margin/ %<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2015/16<\/p><\/td> 1,881,828,149<\/p><\/td> 2,000,000,000<\/p><\/td> 94<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2016/17<\/p><\/td> 1,769,216,586<\/p><\/td> 1,887,000,000<\/p><\/td> 94<\/p><\/td><\/tr> 2017/18<\/p><\/td> 1,668,141,583<\/p><\/td> 1,792,000,000<\/p><\/td> 93<\/p><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table> Within the NHS Long Term Plan, Government has committed to expanding the number of pharmacists in Primary Care Networks. These pharmacists are well placed to work alongside the wider medical team to optimise the use of medicines, promote medicines adherence and improve the clinical and cost effectiveness of prescribed medications. Identifying and supporting patients on complex polypharmacy and those with long term conditions necessitating repeat prescriptions will form an important part of their role. Alongside this, in August 2018, NHS England, announced plans for a new pilot scheme, with investment of £1 million from the Pharmacy Integration Fund to develop system leadership within pharmacy across all settings. These pharmacy leaders will set the vision to systematically tackle medicines optimisation priorities for the local population within GP Network and Integrated Care System foot prints, further supporting medicines adherence, and in turn reducing medicines wastage.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}
