Pereira Index monthly supply report
Monthly supply report: Aug 2021
Items dispensed in England in Aug 2021, as published by the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA): market volume, producers by items dispensed, products appearing for the first time, products with no items in the latest three months, and how much of the volume the registry maps to products.
Items dispensed (England, NHSBSA). Market volume counts every item NHSBSA lists, mapped to a product or not; the producer and product figures count mapped items only. Newest release counted: FOI-03965. Months counted from FOI-03965 (Sep 2020 to Aug 2021); each month comes from its newest release.

NHSBSA dispensing figures cover England only and count dispensed items, not patients or prescriptions. They are lagged by several months, revised retrospectively and unvalidated by NHSBSA, and their units are not standardised because these products are not on the NHSBSA drug database. One product can appear under many spellings, potency notations and pack sizes.
Market volume
5,316 items dispensed (England, NHSBSA), FOI-03965, Aug 2021: every item NHSBSA lists for the month, mapped to a product or not.
