Dispensing activity from community pharmacies

Request 753622491 

I would like to request a dataset containing monthly dispensing activity from community pharmacies in Jersey, with the following fields 

| Month | Year | Dispenser | Dispenser Address | GP | GP Address | Number of Items | 

Specifically, I am seeking: 

The number of prescription items dispensed per month by each community pharmacy in Jersey. 

The associated GP Practice and GP address linked to each dispensing record, if available. 

The dispenser’s name and address. 

The month and year. 

Response 

The information, as requested, is not held in recorded form. To answer the request, data would need to be extracted from various sources and manipulated. The Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 does not require a Scheduled Public Authority to manipulate data in order to provide a response. 

The information requested is therefore not held and Article 3 of Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 applies. 

Articles applied

For the purposes of this Law, information is held by a public authority if – 

(a)     it is held by the authority, otherwise than on behalf of another person; or
