Prescribing in England

Under Section 21 of the Act, we are not required to provide information in response to a request if it is already reasonably accessible to you. 

We have previously provided very similar data in the form of  a Parliamentary Question which the requestor may be interested in:

People with Access/Denied

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. The NHSBSA only holds information on number of patients prescribed with drugs. That does not necessarily equate to the number with access. Information on patients denied access is not provided to the NHSBSA.
