Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how many NHS prescription fines have been issued to people in (a) Easington constituency and (b) England in each of the last five years.

The following table shows the number of penalty charge notices (PCNs) issued in England between September 2014 and October 2018. This data is not available at constituency level.

Note:

NHS Business Services Authority assumed responsibility for the Prescription Exemption Checking Service in September 2014, so no data is held prior to this.
