Written question asked by Jim Shannon (Democratic Unionist Party) on Thursday, 10 October 2024, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Monday, 14 October 2024. It was answered by Karin Smyth (Labour) on Thursday, 17 October 2024 on behalf of the Department of Health and Social Care.


Propranolol: Prescriptions

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what data his Department holds on the number of people being prescribed propranolol to treat anxiety.

Answer

The information requested is not held. National Health Service prescriptions do not list the indication for which the medicine is prescribed. It is therefore not possible to determine from prescribing data held by the NHS Business Services Authority the number of people being prescribed propranolol to treat anxiety.
