Pereira Index monthly supply report
Monthly supply report: Mar 2023
Items dispensed in England in Mar 2023, 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 (Apr 2022 to Mar 2023); 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
17,870 items dispensed (England, NHSBSA), FOI-03965, Mar 2023: every item NHSBSA lists for the month, mapped to a product or not.
Up 3,006 items (20.2%) from Feb 2023 (14,864 items).
