[Pricing] Ireland Drugs Payment Scheme cap is the most useful thing i learned all year

Pricing Clean Column ×6

Ireland Drugs Payment Scheme cap is the most useful thing i learned all year. It is the sort of thing everyone half-believes and nobody writes down.

Two years and four months on a tier 3 list. Referral date and every letter kept, which turned out to matter when the service reorganised.

Four pharmacies, four prices, same product, same month. The spread was larger than I expected and none of them were the headline offer.

GP said no in the spring, specialist said yes eighteen months later. Same person, same numbers.

I will update this if the picture changes rather than quietly leaving it up.

Pharmacy pricing on a private prescription is set by the pharmacy. The spread between them in a given month is routinely substantial, which is why a tracker built from member reports is more useful than any headline.

Which nation, and which ICB if you are in England?

BMI thresholds vary by ICB and by year

the ICB decides the threshold and they are not the same across England

Have you seen the current threshold published by your ICB?

Cosigning on discharge at goal. It catches people who have done everything right and did not know it was coming.

Is this a discharge back to the GP, or a discontinuation?

c/glp1uk rules
  1. No naming online pharmacies that prescribe without a consultation.
  2. Price posts need the date — UK private pricing moves monthly.
  3. NHS pathway questions: say which nation. England, Scotland, Wales and NI differ.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
