Request
Previous FOI requests have provided us with the English monthly prescribing data for a single 3g oral dose of Amoxicillin/Amoxil and a single 600mg oral dose of Clindamycin for the period between 1st January 2004 and 31st March 2013. We would like to compare this with the same prescribing data for Scotland. Ideally covering the same period or as far back as possible. We have also now requested the same data for England from January 2013 until now. We would like to compare this with the same data for Scotland. The data we already have was for all prescribing and split to show who issued the prescriptions: Dentist, GP, hospital or nurse practitioner. We would be grateful if you could provide the data now requested for all prescribing and split in the same way (if possible). If there are any new prescriber groups e.g. Physician Associates, we also request data for them
If it is possible to provide the information, we would also like to request details of the cost of these prescriptions.”
