Question: 
Do these prices reflect what you've paid so far this month?

So why was that agreed for sertraline when only available product is the brand Lustral. So unless the Dr agrees to supply a new script pharmacy with lustral the pharmacy will dispense at a huge loss!Which other professions would agree with that?

Why are we still scratching around dealing with this crap?

Let the DHSC secure the drugs and pay for them at source then we'll hold and dispense for a fee.

Dispensing fee will need to be a lot higher to afford overheads than it currently is to make any profit

Only Lustral available at double these preces for Sertraline. It's not enough.
