To ask the Scottish Government what recent assessment it has made of the NHS reimbursement rate for pharmacies purchasing prescriptions for gluten-free products.
The Scottish Drug Tariff contains information regarding the prescribing, dispensing and reimbursement of medicines and appliances. It lists the reimbursement prices paid by the NHS for approved prescribable items. Gluten-free food products are reimbursed in line with this process. Any price updates are imported directly from the UK Dictionary of Medicines and Devices price files by Public Health Scotland, who supply this monthly to PSD to support accurate reimbursement.
