CPH Levy Adjustment for 2025/26: Investing in Your Future

At our January 2025 meeting, the CPH committee approved the 2025/26 budget, which includes an adjustment to the contractor levy. This reflects a 2.6% increase, in line with inflation as at September 2024 and our previously agreed levy policy. Additionally, we’ve absorbed a 2% increase in levy from Community Pharmacy England.

This decision, made unanimously by your contractor representatives on the committee, ensures we can maintain our vital workplan. Our focus remains on strengthening local negotiation, influence, and contractor engagement – crucial in today’s challenging environment. We understand the immense financial pressures you face, and this adjustment allows us to continue providing the strategic support you need.

CPH remains committed to efficient resource management, leveraging existing investments to minimise levy impact. We’re funded via a statutory levy, directly deducted by NHS England.

We prioritise transparency. Our 2024/25 Annual Report will be available in early June, and we invite you to our Annual General Meeting on 2 July 2025 (registration details will be available shortly). Budget and past reports are always accessible on the CPH website.

We encourage your direct involvement. Observe our meetings (dates on our website) or share your feedback. We are also consulting on our three-year strategic plan, and your input via our online survey is vital for shaping CPH’s future support.

We are here to support you and demonstrate the value of your levy. Please contact us or committee members with any questions or concerns.
