——————- Freedom of Information Request – Ref: FOI 224-2122
Thank you for your recent Freedom of Information request. Please find our response below.
1. I would like to request the total spend on unlicensed medicine across your trust for the periods 2018, 2019 and 2020. If possible could I have the data broken down into:
• Imported medicines products approved outside the uk. • Compounded/specials • Drug shortages. It was not possible to accurately categorise separately the 3 fields so a top line figure for the years since the Trust was established has been produced. Gloucestershire Health & Care NHFT was formed in October 2019. Please see below chart for data.
Year Total October 2019 onwards for 2019 £3,523
2020 £37,200
Should you have any queries in relation to our response in this letter, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you are unhappy with the response you have received in relation to your request and wish to ask us to review our response, you should write to:-
