Current NHS Drug Tariff Liothyronine Prices

Overview

The NHS Drug Tariff lists the costs of most medicines used in the NHS in England.

The NHSBSA (NHS Business Services Agency) manage the NHS Drug Tariff. Technically this is part of NHS England.

This is something like a price list but the prices shown are subject to all sorts of adjustments. For example, if there is a tariff price, that is what the NHS will usually pay to a pharmacy but there might be some adjustments based on the assumption the pharmacy will already be getting a discount from the distributor. And some medicines have formal list prices which have been agreed.

The cost to a pharmacy might be greater, possibly very much greater, than these tariff prices. 

The cost to a private patient buying from a pharmacy might be greater, possibly very much greater, than these tariff prices.

When you look at the details, the system is complex and seems always to be changing.

This links to the main page which has links to the current NHS Drug Tariff and previous versions going back to early 2018.

The prices are shown in more detail in the NHS England DM+D database. Details for liothyronine have been extracted and put into another document here:

Older NHS Drug Tariff Liothyronine Prices

https://helvella.blogspot.com/p/older-nhs-drug-tariff-liothyronine.html

The Quantity (Second column)

The basic price for a drug which is not listed in Part VIII of the Tariff shall be the list price, for supplying to contractors, of the pack size to be used for a prescription for that quantity, published by the manufacturer, wholesaler or supplier. In default of any such list price, the price shall be determined by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care and the Welsh Ministers.

In practical terms, this will mean for 28 tablets or capsules.
 

The Price (Third column)

Prices are in in pence - as it is in the actual Drug Tariff. That is, 12000 means £120.00. 

Price Change Indicator (Fourth column)

An up or down arrow to highlight prices which have changed. 

The Categories  (Fifth column)

What are the categories of drugs in the Drug Tariff?

There are 3 categories of drugs in the Drug Tariff, categories A, C and M.

Category A

This category lists the drugs that are readily available.

The reimbursement price for each of these drugs is calculated from a basket list of suppliers.

Category C

This category lists drugs that are not readily available as a generic and their price is based on a particular brand or supplier.

Category M

This category lists drugs which are readily available.

The reimbursement price is calculated by the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) based on information submitted by manufacturers.

The manufacturer or supplier (Sixth column)

The company that supplies this product. This is only shown when there is a sole supplier. Products supplied by two or more companies leave this blank.

Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales

Northern Ireland has a similar system but the differences are significant.

Scotland has a similar system but the differences are significant. It is more difficult to view because there is no overall search - the data is in a collection of spreadsheets.

The information for Wales is currently based on the English tariff.
