Request

‘Hello, Thank you for responding to my previous query at https://opendata.nhsbsa.net/dataset/foi-25452 In my original request I was asking about GP CPCS referrals - if the response provided already wasn't restricted to GP CPCS but includes figures on all types of CPCS, then could I please request the figures for only GP CPCS. Also, the response mentioned that the figures included where the referral was both successful or unsuccessful. If possible, could another column be added to the dataset to provide a figure for "successful" and "unsuccessful" referrals. Thank you.’

Response

A copy of the information is attached.

Time Period: No limit is placed on time period

Organisation Data: Column header disp_code provides the dispenser code. We do not hold the Prescriber code but do hold the GP name, address and Post Code, which have been provided

Claim_count: The number of claims in month, not the number of unique patients.

Since this is GP CPCS only, no items were supplied as a result of these referrals.
