- How this is produced
- Streamed from the NHSBSA Open Data Portal’s “English Prescribing Dataset (EPD) with SNOMED Code” — the full BNF-presentation month file (~12M rows) is folded down to one practice-grain row (total items, Net Ingredient Cost and items in BNF chapter 5.1 = antibacterials), then joined to the ODS organisation tree (practice → PCN → ICB → national). Items- and cost-per-patient are Σ items (or £) ÷ Σ registered patients for the geography; antibacterial share is chapter-5.1 items ÷ all items.
