Footnotes:

  1.   The table shows the value of assets donated to each NHS trust during the year.

  2.   The source of the data is NHS trust's summarisation schedules (TAC forms).

4.9  FHS EXPENDITURE ON PRESCRIBING

The Committee would like to receive information on total FPS expenditure on prescribing for each year from 1991-92 to 1997-98, on the average expenditure per capita, on the total number of items prescribed and average number per capita, and the average cost per prescription. The Committee would also like to receive this information, for appropriate years, by non-fundholders and fundholders. Any commentary which the Department would wish to append would be welcome, including an assessment of progress in meeting its stated target of restraining "the growth in the drugs bill to sustainable and affordable limits". What information will the Department hold on prescribing expenditure data for Primary Care Groups and Trusts? What level of reserve funds does the Department intend to hold so that where Primary Care Groups and Trusts go over their prescribing budgets their GPs will be able to continue to prescribe drugs to their patients?

FPS EXPENDITURE ON PRESCRIBING

  1.  The information requested is shown in Tables 4.9.1 and 4.9.2. While every effort has been made to ensure that as far as possible the information is provided on a consistent basis in all tables, for example in the use of population data, the basic source of the data is slightly different. Table 4.9.1 is based on all prescription items dispensed, including a small number written by persons other than GPs and some written outside England, whereas Table 4.9.2 is based on items prescribed by GPs in England which have been dispensed in Great Britain.

IMPROVING THE COST EFFECTIVENESS OF THE DRUGS BILL

  2.  Action continues to improve the cost effectiveness of the drugs bill to ensure sustainable and affordable levels, as set out in paragraphs 4.84 to 4.89 of the Departmental Report (Cm 3612). Progress continues to be made on these initiatives. The rate of generic prescribing in 1997-98 increased to 60.7 per cent, as against 58.3 per cent in 1996-97.

  3.  The final outturn (cash) for 1997-98 is not yet available, but provisional returns indicate that the drugs bill increased by around 8.2 per cent, compared with 7.9 per cent in 1996-97.

PRESCRIBING EXPENDITURE BY PCGS AND PCTS

  4.  Information will be collected by the Prescription Pricing Authority on GP and nurse prescribing for the purposes of reimbursement to dispensing contractors, and this information will continue to be available to the Department. We expect to be able to identify this information by Primary Care Group and Trust.

  5.  The Department does not intend to hold reserve funds centrally for prescribing. Health Authorities will be expected to manage prescribing from within their unified allocation for prescribing, HCHS and GMS infrastructure.
