Request

‘Could you please provide annual sales volume data for Nortase capsules from the period first identified to the most recent month. The product is registered on DMD as an imported product from 29th September 2014 with the source country being Germany.’

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) received your request on 8 July 2025.

We have handled your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

Our response

I am writing to advise you that following a search of our paper and electronic records, I have established that the information you requested is not held by the NHSBSA.

The NHSBSA does not hold sales volume data. Rather, our data shows drugs which have been prescribed/dispensed on the NHS.

Advice and assistance

Any prescribing/dispensing of the drug named in your request should appear in the data, dating back to 2014, which has been published at the below links:
