Report update · 26 October 2026
New questions for the research programme
What happens after a patient describes smoked use? The report identifies questions about clinical responses, treatment review, interruptions and patients who leave care. These are research and policy questions; listing them does not claim that a new FOI has been sent.
What do prescribing data tell us? NHSBSA establishes a large number of items while explaining why it cannot reliably identify all distinct private patients. Actual use and treatment outcomes require different evidence.
