Please be aware that recent developments regarding the Medicine Pricing Regulations have lead pharmacies to charge “administration fees”.  The recent Constitutional Court ruling has also lead to some uncertainty.  Fortunately, many pharmacies have not charged “administration fees”or excessive prices and have undertaken to continue serving our scheme’s members:
