<< Our practice has never espoused generic prescribing. Our current rate is
about 29%
. We have a high elderly population and a lot of hypertensvice patients and
those with IHD. 50% of our ptatients with LVF are on ACE as are many of our
hypertensives. Our |CVS spend is 54% above average and our Resp spend about
35% above average. Overall we are 3.9% below budget and our moving average
growth rate is well below average both nationally and for Dorset.
Its all done by discriminating prescribing. No mirrors involved.

But, what's your list size and what's your prescribing budget? Let's compare
like with like?
