Dear NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Clinical Commissioning Group,

I would like to enquire about primary rebate schemes you have signed in the last 12 months. Could you please supply the following information with regards to primary rebate schemes:

What product names (brand and generic if possible)?

What were the start and finish dates (or ongoing if applicable)?

Which rebates are aligned to PrescQIPP, and which ones are independent?

Thank you for taking the time to look in to this request, and I look forward to your response.

Yours faithfully,
Oliver Caswell
