About this dashboard

The CI2 Items and Fees Dispensed Report provides authorised users with a monthly rolling summary of the number of items dispensed and associated professional fees paid to contractors. This report is essential for monitoring dispensing activity and validating remuneration claims across ICBs and practices.

It includes data such as organisation name, item count, and total fees, enabling commissioners to track trends and assess financial impact. Users can filter by time period and export data for reconciliation or audit purposes. The report supports transparency in financial flows between prescribers and dispensers, ensuring compliance with NHS payment rules.

The aim of the CI2 report is to provide visibility of dispensing activity and associated costs, helping organisations identify variances and take corrective action where necessary. While the report offers valuable financial insights, it should be used alongside prescribing dashboards to ensure that cost control measures align with medicines optimisation objectives. Its intention is to strengthen financial governance, reduce errors, and support equitable resource allocation across the NHS.
