Are statin prescribing ratios different for dispensing practices?

1. Obtain GP Prescribing data

2. Cut GP Prescribing data for things of interest (e.g statins)

3. Obtain list of dispensing practices

3a. Add codes to list of dispensing practices (name and address only is provided)

4. Combine things of interest cut and dispensing practice list

5. Compare dispensing vs non-dispensing prescribing ratios for things of interest
