Propranolol: Prescriptions
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what data his Department holds on the number of people being prescribed propranolol to treat anxiety.
Answered by Karin Smyth
The information requested is not held. National Health Service prescriptions do not list the indication for which the medicine is prescribed. It is therefore not possible to determine from prescribing data held by the NHS Business Services Authority the number of people being prescribed propranolol to treat anxiety.
