Hi Team, Good morning,

I am currently conducting research using the SCMD dataset for my academic paper and have identified a potential anomaly in the data for the product Rituximab. Typically, the quantity recorded is around ~500,000, but for February 2025, it is listed as 500,000,000. This discrepancy is significantly impacting the indicative cost calculations.

Could you please assist in reviewing and correcting this data point? Addressing this issue would greatly benefit fellow researchers and other workstreams relying on this dataset.

Thank you for your support, Arunkumar Balaraman

Please note, this comment was responded to via a duplicate email enquiry on 10 September after being picked up on 01 Sept and querying with NHSE (hence the delay whilst a response from them was awaited). The response to the requestor was to please refer to the Finalised SCMD with Indicative Price.

Many thanks, Kate Data and Insight Analyst Data Services NHS Business Services Authority
