Essential small pharmacy local pharmaceutical services

19 October 2010

Following the release of the Local Pharmaceutical Services (Essential Small Pharmacies) (Amendment) (No.2) Directions 2010, NHS PCC has prepared a contract variation notice that PCTs may wish to use when extending their ESPLPS contracts until March 2013.  The notice assumes that the numbering adopted in the signed contract follows that used in the Essential Small Pharmacies Local Pharmaceutical Services model contract produced by the Department of Health in March 2006.

DH produced a model contract for PCTs to use which can be found here.

DH produced guidance for PCTs in implementing the new contractual arrangements for essential small pharmacies which can be found here.
