NMS payments under urgent review

摘要

ENGLAND'S national pharmacy negotiator is having urgent talks with NHS Employers about the need to redesign the payment structure for the new medicine service, which was introduced on 1 October 2011. The move follows complaints made by a "small number" of contractors at last month's annual local pharmaceutical committee's conference in Manchester. There is concern that the existing banded payment model is illogical, a Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee spokesman said.
