Request

Please can I request an update to FOI-02996, for the same query but to reflect the next data months available - that is, May 2025 and June 2025 (Year_Month 202505 and 202506)

The request covers BNF Chapters 20-22 and Chapter 23.

The data in these requests were from the data source NHSBSA Information Services Data Warehouse’ with the Columns YEAR_MONTH, PRACTICE_CODE, DISPENSER_CODE, BNF_CHAPTER_CODE, BNF_CODE, PRODUCT_ORDER_NUMBER, PACK_ORDER_NUMBER, EPD_BNF_20_21_22, EPD_BNF_23, AC_FLAG, ENG_PRESC_BNF20_23, NIC_GBP, ITEMS and TOTAL_QUANTITY.

Could I have the same caveats so that the data matches with the English Prescribing Dataset (EPD).

On the 8 September 2025 you clarified the following:

The request covers BNF Chapters 20-23.

The data is from the data source NHSBSA Information Services Data Warehouse’ with the columns: YEAR_MONTH PRACTICE_CODE DISPENSER_CODE BNF_CHAPTER_CODE BNF_CODE PRODUCT_ORDER_NUMBER PACK_ORDER_NUMBER EPD_BNF_20_21_22 EPD_BNF_23 AC_FLAG ENG_PRESC_BNF20_23 NIC_GBP ITEMS TOTAL_QUANTITY.

I would like data for all items in BNF Chapters 20-23 to include both the prescriber and dispenser details.
