Practitioner Services - Enabling Primary Care

Quality of Service

Payment Verification - Monitoring of Patient Services (Pharmacy)

Practitioner Services is responsible for paying community pharmacists, dispensing doctors and appliance suppliers and for ensuring that all such payments are properly audited.

Payment Verification (Pharmacy) acts on behalf of the Scottish Government & NHS Boards to ensure that Pharmacists are paid correctly, according to the services and items that they have dispensed to NHS patients.  Pharmacists are aware that routine checks are carried out as part of our payment verification work.

As part of our monitoring procedures, patients are randomly selected and contacted to confirm certain details of the services they have received.
