It is frustrating news within the pharmacy industry this week.
The NHS Prescription Services (NHS PS) has revealed that more than 400 pharmacy businesses have asked the sector’s paymaster to check the accuracy of their prescription payments between April 2009 and March 2011 because they may have been underpaid by a staggering £750.
Are you one of these businesses? Did you request this to be checked?
The deadline for requesting these checks was December 31st 2011. Businesses have been informed that they could receive up to £2,000 each for the errors.
Are you frustrated with this? Please let Flame Health know.

The Scottish Government has won the approval of Holyrood’s health committee to remove the current £3 NHS prescription charge.
Labour supports this plan however the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats believe the cash could be better spent in other areas.
Wales and Northern Ireland have already removed NHS prescription charges, which cost £7.10 per item in England.
