Roles and Responsibilities of Council
• Duty to elect or nominate members to the Board at the first meeting of a new session
• Once formed from the members of Council, it is important that the Board conforms to any rules and restrictions, being not inconsistent with the provisions of the Articles of Association, that may be imposed on it by the Council
Roles and Responsibilities of Council
• Council and Board can delegate any of its work to sub committees and appoint, remove and reappoint members to such committees
• The Council shall determine the constitution, powers and duties of each CPHB and ensure that one of the key duties of a CPHB is to elect representatives to the next session of Council
• Council forwards views to the Board and ensures that feedback comes back from the Board
Roles and Responsibilities of Council

• Similar co-option allowed to Board for a period of less than the duration of a session of the Council
Negotiations with SG
• We started out by talking about the principles we wanted to achieve in our negotiations
• Key objectives were to secure an environment which supported stability and predictability
• Mindful of the pending Scottish parliamentary election• SG had new negotiating team• SG then sent their first offer letter in January• We were underwhelmed
Initial Offer
• Global Sum was to remain the same• Reimbursement for Part 7 and MSA were to remain unchanged for
2016/17 until contractors had repaid to Boards all that was owed.• The non Global Sum element of £1.3m (for clinics, grants etc) was
to stay the same• In general SG wanted to look at how it could re-energise CMS and
how the money in the existing global sum could be spent to deliver political priorities
Next Steps
• CPS pointed out it was not possible to leave all MSA unchanged as whatever happened over the course of the year would impact upon the starting point for 2017/18
• More work had to take place on the MSA elements including outcome for 2015/16 where we had run into problems
• Doctors, dentists and nurses had been given a 1% pay rise so why was pharmacy excluded?
• What about the burden caused by introduction of the Living Wage?
Outcomes
• SG agreed to allow an uplift in respect of pay for low paid workers and £1m has been added to the global sum taking it to £178.359m for the year 2016/17
• This money came from the MSA for 2015/16
• It was also agreed that a further £2m would be made available on a non-recurring basis and that this money sat outside the Global Sum
Outcomes – Drug Tariff
• Pregabalin has been added to Part 7 at the Lyrica price pending the outcome of the Pfizer court case
• PSD will no longer differentiate between tablet and caplet formulations when pricing prescriptions for co-codamol and paracetamol presentations
• Volume growth for the year has been estimated at 2.5%• Some modulation has occurred where prices were well adrift from
the market place but otherwise prices have been left unchanged• Claw back rates have both been reduced – 3.0% for Part 7 and
6.18% for non Part 7
Distribution of Monies
• For most payment lines there will be no immediate change
• There is some money unallocated in the global sum – previous overpayments have been worked off and there will be no flu payments this year
• There is another £2m sitting outside the global sum
• CPS has proposed that the money should come out under three headings
Distribution Proposals
• A new fixed experiential payment should be made to contractors who provide placements for students – contractors would have to sign up to receive it
• The money previously paid for the supply of flu vaccines should be used to support the introduction of a new vaccination service and possibly used initially to cover training
• The remaining money should be used to fund a salary/regulatory burden payment
Future Work
• Should we look to negotiate a longer term deal?
• Offers stability while we reassess the long term future of some payments
• What about the payments for CMS? For O and D?
• Is there the possibility for new payments after the PfE refresh?
Why?
● Contractors suffering large fluctuations in cash flow
● Frequent operational issues with service
● Feeling in the network the service was significantly underfunded
Timeline
● Summer 2015 :CPS raises concerns with SG about DAAs
● Autumn 2015 :CP GG+C inform HB service is at risk
● December 2015 :CPS inform DOPs of need for urgent action
● January 2016 :CPS push for meeting with DOPs group

Design of Pharmaceutical Care Services (1)
increase the availability of pharmaceutical care services and
expertise in medicines in multidisciplinary settings
•Develop service delivery models that: utilise the full community pharmacy network in; increase pharmacist management of common clinical conditions in partnership with GPs; increase pharmacist role in pharmaco-vigilance; provide medication reviews to improve patient outcomes
•Extend CMS and MAS
•Develop clinics to be delivered in community pharmacy to support continuity of care
•Improve access to pharmaceutical care in care homes, care at home, hospital at home.
•Integrate pharmacist into the multidisciplinary team –both managed service pharmacist and community pharmacist
•Consider opportunities for service delivery by all community pharmacists, not just independent prescribers
•Scope and address resource requirements for delivery of pharmaceutical care and medication reviews across primary and secondary care
•Consider how SMC process links to future service delivery model
•Develop role of technology to enable remote consultations
•Explore use of telehealth from specialist secondary care pharmacy staff
7 - A clear national specification for pharm care services
1 - Processes which ensure continuity and consistency of service provision
9 - Improved capacity / capability of CP services
19 - National planning framework that is fit for purpose
