Trading Name

I am writing to advise you that following a search of our paper and electronic records,
I have established that the information you requested is not held by the NHS Business Services Authority, as there is no business need to do so.

F Codes with Name, Address, LPC

A copy of the information is attached.

NHSBSA Prescription Services process prescriptions for Pharmacy Contractors, Appliance Contractors, Dispensing Doctors and Personal Administration with information then used to make payments to pharmacists and appliance contractors in England for prescriptions dispensed in primary care settings (other arrangements are in place for making payments to Dispensing Doctors and Personal Administration). This involves processing over 1 billion prescription items and payments totalling over £9 billion each year. The information gathered from this process is then used to provide information on costs and trends in prescribing in England and Wales to over 25,000 registered NHS and Department of Health users.

The links between pharmacies and LPCs are determined by Primary Care Support England as part of the Local Payment Application entries, so although we hold the information we do not maintain it, and therefore the accuracy of this data cannot be guaranteed by ourselves. 

If an F-code is missing an LPC Name, this is due to the NHSBSA not being informed of the LPC Name.

Time period - February 2018.
