Home Enhanced and Local Services
Service specifications for Enhanced Services have been developed using experience from locally negotiated services. LPCs and contractors are able to negotiate to provide services in accordance with these specifications where a local need for the service is determined.
Alternatively LPCs, contractors or the PCT are free to develop their own local services in response to identified needs.

Draft Template Service Specifications
These DRAFT template Enhanced service specifications are published in order that LPCs and pharmacy contractors are aware of current work PSNC is undertaking on service development. They may be used to inform local discussions on service development.
These service specifications are still under discussion with the Department of Health and NHS Employers and have not been finalised; further changes will be made to them before they are agreed as national service specifications.

Negotiating Enhanced Service Funding
PSNC has developed a costing toolkit and other guidance, for LPCs and PCTs, which helps to identify the elements to be considered in pricing a service at a local level.
