Antidepressant drug prescribing trends Scotland - Data Source
Data Source -
Practitioner Services , a division of NHS National Services Scotland, processes all NHS prescriptions for payment of pharmacies, dispensing doctors and appliance suppliers. This gives a full record from which trends in prescribing can be investigated at a detailed level. The data includes prescribing by GPs, nurses, dentists, pharmacists and hospitals, where the latter was dispensed in the community. Hospital dispensed prescriptions are NOT included in the figures. Information Service Division (ISD) cannot say what proportion of the drug dispensed is actually consumed http://www.isdscotland.org/isd/infor...=Content.show& |
