Dear Mr Caswell
RE: Freedom of Information (FOI) request – Primary Care rebate scheme
We refer to your Freedom of Information request which was received by the Western
Health and Social Care Trust on 27th September 2022. Please see below a Trust
response to your request.
Your request
What primary care rebate schemes does your ICB/ Board currently hold (brand
and generic if possible)?
What are the start and end dates of the contract? Or is it an ongoing contract?
Trust response
The Trust’s Head of Pharmacy has advised that primary care rebates fall under the
remit of the Strategic Planning and Performance Group (SPPG), formerly Health and
Social Board and not the Trust. For further advice and contact details see the link
