Prescribing by GP Practice Datasets

All of these data releases are under the terms of the Open Government Licence

After examining discrepancies relating to the BNF, developments have been made to GP Prescribing data following an improved extract from the English BSA.

Therefore, from September 2018 onwards, the data will show a more fully populated ‘BNF Code’ column. Some changes to BNF Chapter and Section will have occurred as part of this process.

Concessionary prices have to be approved by the Department of Health (DoH). Where DoH instructs BSO to apply reimbursement prices for a particular month after payment has already been made, these are paid as an adjustment and these prices are known as late concessionary prices. Prior to May 2024 late concessionary prices were not included in the data. From May 2024 the dataset has been amended to include late concessionary price updates.
