	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2019 answer text <p>The Prescription Cost Analysis data, which is published by the NHS Business Services Authority, shows that overall the number of prescription items in primary care has been fairly stable over the last few years giving no indication that prescription items, which could be issued for a longer time period, are being split between multiple prescriptions. There could be valid reasons for prescribing a shorter period of treatment, for example when the medicine is first initiated. The cost of prescribed drugs is met by the prescriber’s clinical commissioning group (CCG). Prescribing the same quantity of a medicine over time for people with a long-term condition, even if prescription duration varies, has largely a neutral effect on National Health Service drug budgets held by CCGs.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 09/09/2019 15:10:52 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
