The scorecard is produced using a range of data sources from two to five years prior to publication and no central data collection is involved.
Following an initial release of a web platform tool in January 2017, this publication sees the full release of the new tool. This new tool has been developed in response to a user consultation undertaken in early 2016 specifically to enhance user experience in accessing the data, making it easier for commissioners and users to find information on what medicines (and later medical technologies and diagnostic tools) are available in their region and allow for easier comparison with other areas.
User feedback is welcomed on this new development to feed ongoing and future developments.
