Pharmacy payment data
Dear Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council,
I was wondering if I could please request details of payments made to pharmacies for locally commissioned NHS services, for example smoking cessation, emergency hormonal contraception, supervised consumption of medicines, & needle exchange services.
If you could kindly provide this in spreadsheet(s) format, with a breakdown by pharmacy (name and address), month, service, and payment, I would greatly appreciate it (if you also have the ODS code identifier for the pharmacy, then please kindly include this also). If possible, details of the most recent 12 months worth of payments.
Yours faithfully,
oliver staunton
