Request
You asked us:
I would like to request a re-run of a previous Freedom of Information request which you have kindly responded to.
I would like to make a new request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 for the following data.
The reference number for the previous request is FOI-03464 and I would like to request data for the calendar month November 2025.
This is the full request:
Please provide, for the calendar month November 2025, information on reimbursed prescriptions by dispenser code for everything dispensed in England.
I understand that controlled drugs may be omitted from the response.
Please note that this request intentionally does not require both dispenser and prescriber code.
The following fields only are required:
- Date (Dispensed YEAR_MONTH)
- Dispenser code
- BNFID
- Quantity
- Items
- NIC
Please provide the information in CSV format, in the same structure used for FOI-03464 where possible.
If any part of this request is considered unclear or would engage any cost or scope concerns, please treat this email as a request for advice and assistance under section 16 FOIA so that I may refine the request to the narrowest form you can provide, rather than refusing it outright.
The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) received your request on 15 April 2026.
We have handled your request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) 2000.
Our response
Under Section 21 of the FOIA we are not required to provide information in response to a request if it is already reasonably accessible to you.
