Hello, The latest ‘Prescriber Details’ CSV file for April 2025 has erroneous values in the ‘PROVIDER_SICBL_CODE’ column. Instead of a 5 character code, five Providers (given below) have codes that are in scientific/exponential notation, e.g. '1.00E+00' ICBs with erroneous PROVIDER_SICBL_CODE: 01E - LANCASHIRE AND SOUTH CUMBRIA ICB 15E - BIRMINGHAM AND SOLIHULL ICB 02E - CHESHIRE AND MERSEYSIDE ICB 71E - LINCOLNSHIRE ICB 99E - MID AND SOUTH ESSEX ICB

2025-05-02 Checked against data which appears in ePACT2 and can confirm no prescribing appears for Aflibercept or Ranibizumab at all since Sept 2024 at least. Faricimab is a Hospital Only drug. The CHEMICAL_SUBSTANCE_BNF_DESCR in ODP for Dexamethasone, and Fluocinolone acetonide returns results. BNF_DESCRIPTION in ODP for Sodium Chloride 5% eye drops returns results. Therefore no action required to be taken as data appears correct when the above information is considered.
