NHS prescription charge: NHS Statutory Patient Charges

Every row is a verbatim sentence read from the named source's own page through our fetch service on the date shown, hash-pinned to the stored read (the sha of the page's visible text; the raw page is mirrored to R2).

4 of the 6 named sources that could be read published a usable figure; 2 published none and are recorded as not published, never filled in; 2 could not be read (blocked, dead or unreachable) and count nowhere.

The headline figures (median, minimum, maximum, quartiles) are over ONE figure per source for each breakdown it prices, in GBP (a source's median where its page yielded several accepted sentences for one breakdown), so a page that gives figures for several breakdowns gives one for each and N counts 5 figures, never sentences; 19 candidate sentence(s) were refused by a reviewer with the reason recorded.

The fuller derivation this dataset is chartered to grow into (not yet what the figures above are; they are each source's own published figure as read): one row per UK nation per charge - prescription, dental band 1/2/3, sight test and optical voucher, wigs and fabric supports, the overseas-visitor rate - quoted from that nation's own authority with the date it took effect; the cross-nation comparison (England charges, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland do not, for prescriptions) is the figure, and each April's uprating is the release.

19 candidate sentences on these pages were refused by a reviewer; each refusal and its reason is recorded in the review ledger.
