How counts are defined
Active NHS ODS Wales dispensaries (wales_ods_dispensaries, status_name = ACTIVE) — nation total on this index. Active GP prescribing cost centres (RO76, status_name = ACTIVE) mapped to LHB via commissioner membership (commissioner_organisation_code 7A1–7A7). Active NHS ODS Wales dental practices (wales_ods_dental_practices) with lhb_code on the register. Dispensing contractors per LHB are distinct contractors with NWSSP paid items in the latest month for practices commissioned by that LHB; a contractor may appear in more than one LHB if it dispenses across boundaries, so LHB sums can exceed the nation ODS pharmacy total.
