In this month’s eSchedules sent yesterday, there are a number of adjustment codes we wanted to draw your attention to. These are payments as detailed in the Dispensing Pool Balancing Payments (PCA)(P)(2021)09 circular. They will be located on your Supplementary & Service Payments page.

The Codes Are:

• EHC_GS_UL – This is to reflect the uplift in Emergency Hormonal Contraception activity

• SC_GS_UL - This is to reflect the uplift in Smoking Cessation activity

• PFS_Act_GS - This is to reflect the uplift in Pharmacy First activity

There are other payments that are discussed in the same circular: a fixed sum of £1000 in recognition of adjustments to premises as a result of COVID-19, and a balancing payment for the Dispensing Pool. These were both paid previously, in March 21st dispensing, which was paid at the end of May 21st.

If you are unsure about these payments, or any others contained within your eSchedule, we can help. You can contact us on 0131 466 3540 or at pharmacy.services@cps.scot
