Request

Requesting Slenyto tablets (by strength) dispensed in a defined time period 01-01-2025 to 31-12-2025 across the United Kingdom.

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.

The NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA) processes prescription data for items dispensed in the community in England only. We do not hold prescribing or dispensing data for Scotland, Wales, or Northern Ireland.

Data for Slenyto tablets that have been dispensed in the community in England is available publicly within our Prescription Cost Analysis (PCA) dataset, which can be accessed here:

https://opendata.nhsbsa.net/dataset/prescription-cost-analysis-pca-monthly-data

The PCA dataset provides monthly totals for the volume and cost of all items dispensed in the community in England and submitted to the NHSBSA for reimbursement.

To obtain the information you require, you will need to:

• Access the PCA monthly files for the relevant months, and

• Filter the data on BNF_PRESENTATION_NAME for “Slenyto”.
