Submission of Prescriptions

Prescription Sorting and GP 34 Declaration

Forms are sorted by size or quality of form and whether the form has supporting documentation. Forms are classed as “Ordinary” or “Special” with the majority of forms being included in the “Ordinary” batch

The “Specials” section should comprise of:

  • GP10As
  • Forms that have supporting documentation i.e. invoices, oxygen forms with delivery claims
  • Damaged forms
  • PC70 forms linked to controlled drugs

It is important that forms are devoid of staples, sellotape, evidence of sticky labels, stickers and perforated edges associated with computer-generated forms.

We require the GP34 to be completed with the following information:

  • Dispensing month
  • Date of dispatch
  • Whether first half, second half or full month
  • Signature of contractor
  • Contractor code
  • Business Name and address including postcode
  • Business stamp
  • Forms and items as exempt or charged, with any GP10A forms declared separately – please align to the left
  • Oxygen Rental, oxygen contracted contractors must declare their number of sets authorised and their number of sets on loan (NB:- this replaces the GP64 form  which PSD no longer requires.)     Claims for oxygen set rental are made on the “second half” or “full month” GP34 declaration form

Please check that your Pharmacy stamp contains the same business details that you have declared on the form.

Please notify us if there has been a change of ownership, or if any details of the contract have changed, by completing the reverse of the form. Please notify your NHS Board if there has been a change of ownership or if any details of the contract have changed. Alternatively, please complete the reverse of the GP34 form.

It is important that the figures detailed on the GP34 declaration are clearly written and agree with the forms being submitted on that occasion i.e. when the second part of a two-part submission is being completed, the figures must relate to the second part of the month only, do not detail the total for the whole month. Forms and items declared must match forms/items submitted.

Pharmacy contractors have an agreement with their NHS Board to submit their prescription forms to us within 5 working days of that month’s cycle.   The number of forms you dispense each month will determine whether this is once or twice monthly.  

Unfortunately, a numer of contractors fail to submit their prescription forms within this timescale which impacts on the processing of advance payments for all contractors within that NHS Board area.

While every effort will be made to make an advance payment to contractors who fail to submit their prescriptions on time, this may not be possible.

Enquiries relating to your declaration should be directed to Miss Val Letford Tel: 01506 705100
