DHSC: GPH: Part IX of the NHS Drug Tariff

As part of the application for Part IX, NHS Prescription Services determines where on the Drug Tariff the appliance is listed. Following a consultation that took place between October 2023 and January 2024, the Department of Health and Social Care are updating the way medical devices listed on Part IX of the Drug Tariff are categorised and assessed. We are currently working at pace to categorise these products into draft clinically comparable groups in advance of seeking patient, clinical and industry feedback. The aim of this patient engagement is to gather patient input on what features patients value in these products in order to build this feedback into the assessment framework of medical product attributes under Part IX of the Drug Tariff.
