Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how his Department records prescriptions for nicotine replacement therapy dispensed in hospital; how many such prescriptions were dispensed in each year since 2010; whether he plans to increase the number of those prescriptions dispensed in hospital; and if he will make a statement.
There is no central National Health Service collection of information on nicotine replacement therapy dispensed in hospitals in England.
