Data access
Use the machine-readable JSON record or the flattened CSV download or the compact Markdown version.
Methodology
Monthly community prescribing assigned by registered practice postcode and divided by the matching official GP registered-patient snapshot. Area colour is limited to normalised measures; exact items, quantities, costs and patient denominators remain in details and downloads. Item counts, medicine quantity, net ingredient cost and actual cost answer different questions and are never merged into a single score. These data do not measure disease prevalence, adherence or medicines taken.
