Reminder – Requirement for all Pharmacies to Complete Daily HSC SitReps
Thank you to the pharmacy teams who have been completing the HSCB Situation Reports (SitReps) and submitting them to HSCB on a daily basis.
It is important that all pharmacies do this on a daily basis and I would ask that you ensure your pharmacy staff complete this task. It may be useful to set a reminder on the PMR or on your phone. The purpose of the SitReps is to ascertain the daily status of all community pharmacies during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is reported to the highest level within the Department of Health.
Your support with this matter would be much appreciated.
Yours sincerely

Dear Colleague
BSO Payment Processed to Community Pharmacy Contractors on 30th April 2020
The BSO were able to process all March 2020 prescriptions that were submitted to it by Contractors in the first and second March Rx submissions thus enabling an actual March 2020 prescription payment to be made by BSO. This negated the need for the BSO to make the payment based on an estimate payment, which was the contingency arrangement, if required.
The total payments processed by BSO to Contractors yesterday were as follows:
Total March’20 BSO Prescription payment
£ 46,853,968.07
COVID related funding
£6,500,000
Total
£53,353,968.07
The attached letter, sent by Joe Brogan, HSCB to all pharmacies provides further detail on the various COVID payments being processed to Contractors between 31st March and 31st May 2020, including the breakdown of the £6.5m COVID funding allocated by BSO yesterday.
Please do not hesitate to contact CPNI offices should you require any additional information.
Yours sincerely
