Overview

• Summary of dataset and variables:

  The emergency medicine supply service enables a pharmacist to supply a patient with their regular prescription-only medicines in emergency situations.

  Data shows the number of emergency medicines supply consultations broken down by what the patient would have done, had they not been able to access the service.

  Data is based on claims made by pharmacies for providing the service.

  The data is claim based, therefore the same patient may be counted in the data multiple times if they used the service multiple times.
