I read the fitness-to-practise case "Dishonest claim for reimbursement from PPA leads to striking-off order" involving an NHS pharmacy contractor (PJ, 2 February 2013, pi20) who is said to have claimed payment for multiple small packs but supplied large packs. Over 50 years ago the then pricing bureau would regularly send notification that a contractor's payment for a branded drug, for example, endorsed as a 20-pack size would in future be paid based on the 100-pack size (100 being cheaper), and a claim for the 20-pack size would not be accepted because the contractor's use of that drug was greater than 100 for the previous months.
