Primary care rebate schemes (PCRS) are contractual arrangements offered by pharmaceutical companies, or third party companies, which offer retrospective financial rebates to the CCG on GP prescribing expenditure for particular branded medicine(s).
The availability of a scheme does not influence the inclusion of specific medicines in care pathways or formularies.
Any decision to accept a PCRS is only made once a clinical decision to approve the use of a medication has been agreed locally.
We are unable to publish the full details of the PCRS because this information is commercially sensitive.
Although there are a number of PCRS available, NHS Salford CCG is currently signed up to the following:
