Establishment Payment

Published: 06/09/23

Over the years as the pharmacy contract has changed, different service payments have been joined together into what we now call the Establishment Payment.

---

This is a monthly payment fixed at £2,500 per month (except for part-time essential small pharmacies) and is made up from the following original payments:

• Payment Supplement;

• PHS Payment Core Element;

• Infrastructure Support Payment;

• Plus the base level payable previously for the professional allowance (= £575).

This reallocation of payments means that there will be no more mention of the above payments on any of the monthly payment schedules or in any current documentation.

The establishment payment will be scaled for Essential Small Pharmacies (see ESP section) in accordance with the existing provisions for opening hours.
