Original Request

Good afternoon, fastyr mie, In the UK data for surgeries is publicly available via the NHS website. Please could you state how many patients are registered with each surgery on the island? Where a surgery runs a sister or satellite surgery, if possible can the figures be given for each surgery separately, ie Laxey and Onchan and Jurby and Ramsey separate rather than combined? Please can you state how many prescription items were prescribed by each surgery for the last three years. If possible given by month. Thank you Stephen
