Monthly allowance cancellation (EPS)

When a pharmacy contractor is able to operate the Electronic Prescription Service if an appropriate prescription is presented or requested, the pharmacy can claim £200/month from the local NHS England team.

If at a later date, the pharmacy contractor becomes unable to operate the EPS (subject to any exception provided for in Part VIA) the contractor must inform the local NHS England team in writing immediately. In this instance, the local NHS England team will not authorise the Pricing Authority to make the monthly allowance. The Pricing Authority will only pay the monthly allowance if authorised by the local NHS England team via the local payment system.
