<p>The Health and Social Care Information Centre (HSCIC) publication <em>Prescriptions
Dispensed in the Community, Statistics for England - 2002-2012</em>, contains a series
of statistical tables, one of which, table A5: <em>Generic prescribing and dispensing,
percentage by class, 2002–2012</em>, provided an 11 year time series of data on generic
prescribing. Information from this is provided in the attached table. The next edition
of this publication, which will contain 2013 data, is due to be published by the HSCIC
on 9 July 2014. The Department has not made an estimate of the savings that have resulted
from greater use of generics.</p>
