I am a user of the epact.net federation system. I notice from the system that I can select data for drugs classified under the new "category m" in the drug tariff. I also notice that you have the drug tariff online listing the current prices of category m drugs. I need to match the data provided on epact.net with the info on the drug tariff i.e. create a list of BNF Codes and BNF names with their respective pricing from the drug tariff. The only way I can do this at the moment is to go through by hand, all of the 300+ category m formulations I am interested to know whether you can provide such a list, on a quarterly basis, matching the drug tariffs of April 2005, July 2005 and so on. I assume you must store this information electronically in some way for payment of prescriptions. Please let me know if this is possible
