Description

Queries from August 2010 to date and returns total spending and items by practice by month. You must specify either an organisation, or a date.

Usage

spending_by_practice(BNF_section_code = NULL, chemical_code = NULL,
  presentation_code = NULL, practice_code = NULL, CCG_code = NULL,
  date_code = NULL)

Arguments

BNF_section_code	A BNF section, or the ID unique to a section found using drug_details().
chemical_code	An ID unique to a chemical found using drug_details().
presentation_code	An ID unique to a presentation found using drug_details().
practice_code	A code/ID unique to a practice found using organisation_codes().
CCG_code	A code/ID unique to a CCG found using organisation_codes().
date_code	A date using the format "2015-12-01".

Value

Returns total spending and items by practice by month.

Examples

spending_by_practice(BNF_section_code = "0212", date_code = "2015-04-01")
spending_by_practice(chemical_code = "0212000AA", date_code = "2015-04-01")
spending_by_practice(practice_code = "H81068")
spending_by_practice(CCG_code = "03V")
Or a variation of the above (with at least 1 practice_code, date_code, or CCG_code).
N.B A BNF section gives a prefix to the chemical, which gives a prefix to the presentation/product format.
 e.g. "0212" are lipid-regulating drugs, "0212000AA" is Rosuvastatin Calcium, "0212000AAAAAAAA" is Rosuvastatin Calc_Tab 10mg. 
N.B2 The data is often released over 2 months from the current date, and use the -01 of each month as date.
