General description

Community pharmacies provide advice and support to people on the management of common minor ailments, including where appropriate, the supply of medicines for the treatment of that ailment, for those people who would have otherwise gone to their GP for advice or a prescription.
Data based on claims made by pharmacies providing the service and relates to consultations provided in the financial year, according to the consultation date.
Data is claim level, so the same patient may be counted multiple times if they used the service multiple times.
