Reimbursement reductions for dressings delayed

The Department of Health's proposed reduction in the reimbursement price of a range of dressings and blood glucose testing strips has been put on hold, with responses to the consultation still under review by the Government. In its response, the Pharmaceutical Services Negotiating Committee expressed concern that the proposals,which were to come into effect on 1 August, could limit access to these products and damage patient care.
