FEE SCALE CHANGE
                The dispensing doctors fee scale for October 2023 has been published for practices
                in England,  and whilst the bands are not directly comparable to April 23, the changes
                bring an average cut of 19.4% in fees.
                April 2024 fees have also been published (applicable from the 1st April 2024), which
                sees the fees rise by an average of 13.3% vs Oct 23 changes.
