In consideration of the price capping being imposed on surgical masks sold by pharmacies, MIMCOL, under the auspices of the MEIB will be introducing and administering the ‘Mask Subsidy Scheme’. This serves to aid pharmacies in alleviating wholesale cost-induced losses borne by the introduction of the capping whilst securing the wider public interest.
All eligible parties will need to apply for the refund directly through MIMCOL’s portal for surgical mask stocks bought over the period 9th March to not later than 4th May 2020.
