How counts are defined

Active NHS ODS dispensaries (england_ods_dispensaries, status_name = ACTIVE) joined to the BSA contractor register (england_contractors) by contractor code and grouped by LPC code. Not included on the LPC geography index — LPC pages focus on pharmacy contractors and dispensing activity. LPC codes and names come from the local_pharmaceutical_committees reference table. ICB and HWB coverage counts are distinct boards linked via contractor register rows for each LPC.
