One month wait for full details of contract in England

摘要

Community pharmacists in England will have to wait another month to find out exactly how they will fare financially under the new contract.Last week's announcement that a pound1.766bn deal has been agreed to fund the new contract(PJ,28 August,p277)will not mean much to pharmacists until it is determined how the sum will be distributed.This week,the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee confirmed that it is developing distribution models that will be discussed at the next PSNC meeting,to be held at the end of September.Provided that an agreement is reached,an announcement on future distribution of funding will follow this meeting.
