Thank you for your request for information about the following:

I work in the buying/pricing department for Simple Online Pharmacy contractor FK552. It would be extremely helpful to have an excel or CVS file of all the items eligible for reimbursement and the pricing. I already download the monthly Drug Tariff in excel for generic lines, which is very useful to our business. Is it feasible to access similar information in bulk, on the other items such as branded ethicals? Currently using DM+D browser for single items but the scale at which we operate would benefit from a downloadable format.

Your request was received on 21 August 2023 and I am dealing with it under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
