To merge two current threads together
The cost of the current Vitamin D screening strategy
implemented in full will be
around £2 billion.
62,414,062 people
One initial Vitamin D assay in each
= 62,414,062 assays
If well considered Sheffield guidance is followed
about 31,207,031 will be deemed to be deficient
and will require high dose replacement/followup
Involving come sort of clinical visit,
D administration, and two or three further assays
Total (excluding drug costs or administration):
156,035,155 Vitamin D assays @£15 =
£2,340,527,325
