Request

Hi, I'm not familiar with the potential sources of data you may have for this request so please redirect me or provide guidance if required. The data I'd like is captured in the NHS App so I hope that you have access to national level raw data. I am interested in how standardised blood tests are across the NHS. Could you provide in Excel or CSV format a list of all Labs that perform blood tests for the NHS with their corresponding ICB/ICS? and in a third column the reference range they use for Normal Testosterone in males, e.g. my locality is 6.7 nmol/L - 25.7 nmol/L 4th column number of tests in the last 12 months? 5th column number below their defined normal range, 6th column number below 12 nmol/L. I also noticed that my local lab changed its reference range over the last few years (used to be 10.0 nmol/L - 38.0 nmol/L) , I don't know if the ranges are age dependent so if that is the case, please adjust the data to include age ranges as an additional column. New area of Interest for me so I'd appreciate any guidance or direction
