The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) has announced that from the start of 2026, the Ministry of Defence (MOD) will start using paper FP10 prescription forms for all outsourced prescriptions issued by MOD medical facilities. Any MOD-issued paper FP10 prescriptions should be processed by pharmacy teams in the usual way.
The small number of MOD-issued prescriptions outsourced in this way will be funded by the MOD and not from the pharmacy contract sum.
MOD personnel who pay for their prescriptions may request a till receipt to claim back any prescription charges paid.
MOD staff will need to be clear that they are asking for a normal till receipt rather than a FP57 receipt and refund claim form as any refund of prescription charges paid are processed by the MOD directly rather than the pharmacy.
In the interim, from 24 November 2025, a trial of the new arrangements will take place from 6 MOD sites and their usual outsourcing pharmacies. More information is on the NHSBSA website.
