## Notice

The medicine margin survey is a key component of this process by working to ensure that the correct level of funding is delivered to community pharmacies. Based on the results of the quarterly survey, adjustments are made to the NHS Drug tariff (which sets reimbursement prices for medicines dispensed under prescription) to calibrate delivery of future medicine margin and recoup any previous over- or under-delivery.
